yeah but also now days you have fuel control for every 400rpm so the exhaust would be hard to read !!!

They'll be a bit taller than the stock 205/65r15's mate, you wanna kill some launch for top end? Might save an nth of gas on a trip up north/east tho

according to my spreadsheet this is the difference

assuming 3.08 diff and t700 gearing

215/65/15

100kms = 1722rpm and tyre of 661mm

205/65/15

100kms = 1756rpm and tyre of 648mm

roughly :study:

if delcowizzids car turns out anything like my torana then changing a tyre size like that can make the world of difference in traction off the line! - mind you my increase in tyre size was 205/45/16 (591mm - 2156rpm) to 225/50/16 (631mm - 2018rpm) and this was all with a 3.45 diff.
