    Sure a 205 works on a 6 inch, I have a 205 kumho xs mounted up as a spare, but if you are planning on tracking the car a 195 will perform better. A 205 on the 6" wheel will bulge in the center, reducing the contact patch.

    Youd be much better off getting some 15x7 or larger imo.

    But doing things right does cost more

    I'm sure you are right, and I'll start doing things right as soon as three more kids move out or someone offers to buy em. Until then, I'll just do it all wrong. Lol
