Reading about the aftermarket wheels, I am hopefully going to get a set of new wheels, Problem is that they have 205/65R15 tyres on, Will these interfere with the Steering components and catch on various things? I know someone (Grandsire) I Think has 205's on his 945. Can anyone clear this up?

Grandsire has 205/55R16's like me. If you have 15" wheels on now, then there will be no problem. Assuming of course that you are getting wheels with the same offset as you have now... Make sure that you have matching sized tyres on each axle.. 205 relates to the width of the tread, the 55 is the distance of the tread from the wheel (as a % of the tread size) and the 16 is the wheel diameter.
