see from previous posts that reccomended sizes for Gerry's replica Campagnolas are 205/50/15s front and 225/50/15s rear.

Can anyone tell me if there are any reasons why it would not be possible to run 225/50/15s on front and back wheeels. Does this cause handling, steering,set up problems?

I have been offered a good deal on on some 225/50/15s, but I would need to buy a set of 4 to get the deal.

Thanks for any suggestions/comments

The Stratos physics dictate larger rear tyres to reduce the small wheelbase negative effects.

I agree with Tryphon! However you can run 205 F and 225 R or 225F with 345 rears. Assuming you have a Gp4 body..
