My wire wheels on my TR250 are out of round and are beyond reasonable repair.  
They are 15 x 4 1/2 60 spoke wheels.  I am considering moving up to 15x 6 72 
spoke chrome Dayton wheels, and going from a 185SR15 tire to a 205/70/15 tire. 
Tire diameters are within 1%.  Am I safe increasing tire width 20mm ( wheel 
well interference etc).  Anyone using near to these wheel/tire specs out there? 
195/65/15 tires are also available ( limited choices), but is wider better 
until your hit the fenders wells?   
What performance features should I expect in going from a narrow to a wider 
tire?
And advice for inflation?  
I know this has been discussed for minilight wheels and discussion of wheel 
offsets, but I don't recall wires being mentioned.
Thanks, Steve
