Thanks, will do a couple experiments. I'm bringing full sets of both sizes,
and if I can find the room I have a set of Hoosier TDs, that would be three
sets of tires, A bit overkill, just trying to use up the 205s

my experience with the GT6 is that the front tires do much more work =
than the rears in many respects.  They wear faster, get hotter, need =
lower tire pressures to start to be equal at the end of the session with =
the rears.
I don=E2=80=99t see any benefit to running wider tires just in the rear =
- this car is nose heavy and the front brakes do most of the work.  =
I=E2=80=99d get the front fenders worked a bit to accommodate the larger =
tires - I found the same thing, that the R888Rs are slightly bigger than =
the old Toyos, and had to get a little clearance work done.
I think you are short changing yourself with the 185s.  You=E2=80=99ll =
find that the car will understeer more.  Not that larger tires in the =
rear will hurt you, but smaller tires in the front will hurt.  If you =
correct for it so the car is balanced, my guess is the car will be =
slower overall.

Just my 2 cents.
