Question about tires....

Okay it's time for me to change my tires and I want to get some good ones

Hankook Ventus Z211 R-Compound Racing Tire
http://www.racetunedimports.com/hankook_ventus.php

My question is: I currently have 185 tires and I'm wondering if my mags(mags from an '83) will fit on the 205 tires?
This is the info about the Z211 Tires: 205/60VR13

My current tires are : 185/70/13



I wanna make sure because those tires are 660$ CDN

well the thing is if I sign up to the LAPS(for Solo1) it's 40$

when I do that, I have 200$ rebate on those tires so instead of being 660, they're 460$ for all 4 which ain't so bad for some racing tires

205s are the very largest size I would run on 5.5" wide wheels, myself. Even then it's not an ideal setup, especially for racing. Just my 2 cents.

why wouldn't 205 be an ideal setup for racing?
