The standard 205's already look a little lost in the arches. Why go smaller :-/

At a guess I'd say price :-? :-? :-?

Best to stick to the correct sizes really as otherwise it'll make speedo inaccurate :y :y :y

indeed, it would be going 2% too slow. When speedo says 60 it actually does 58.8 mph. Good for speed cameras ;D

May even invalidate your insurance in the event of an accident if you don't notify them of the "modification"   from standard fit  :-/

lmao!
i like how somebody put that when he's doing 60 on the speedo he'd be doing about 58...he's probably only going 56 as it is :P (average 5% out over-reading) unless his speedos ex plod calibrated
