Hi Nelix, it has 205 width all round, I understand the originals were narrower (is that a word!??) on the front but we only have it for fun sun days out and dont race it around, it seems to feel the same as before and nothing rubs so happy with my choice.
I have read a few threads on the site before making my choice and talked to Toyota but they were not interested in anything that deviates from the original fitments and advised accordingly. I must say they suit the car and give it a more purposeful stance. Lovely little motor!  s:D :D s:D
I see your into bikes as well, what do you ride?

Hi, i have a Triumph sprint rs 955i.

Re the tyres, toyota designed the roadster with a "staggered" tyre set up, the rears are wider than the fronts. They did this for a reason, not to make it difficult to fit aftermarket alloys.  s:) :) s:)  

I suggest you read up on tyre stagger, it has quite been quite an emotive subject over the years to say the least.

Nice bike.

Your choice re the tyres. To put it into perspective i would as soon ride my bike without a lid than run non staggered tyres.
