I love these tires on my Elise and was looking to get these on the Caterham since i need new ones. I looked on tire rack and saw these…

My current tires are 195 45 R15 and these are 205 50 R15. Will these fit on my car still? I have a 2003 Caterham Dedion, and if not where can i find tires that will?

It will depend on the fender stay clearance if you have cycle fenders on the front. If not should be no problem.

 

I run 205/50-15s on my Caterham SV with cycle fenders. Close fit to the stays. It will depend on the casing width, not all tires of a given size are the same width. Also there could be a problem with the cycle fenders themselves. There are two sizes for different wheel sizes, it will depend on what wheels and tires your car came with from the factory.

 

Order a set through Discount Tire, they will match the Tire Rack price and likely source them from Tire Rack. If they don't fit as has happened to me twice recently they will take them back and get something else or you can go elsewhere.
