Hi

I've got a Golf GTI 16V 1996 model. It currently has 205/50/15 R tyres on them (x4). I need to replace the front 2 tyres because they are well worn out but the rear ones have probably a few months left in them.

When I search for replacement tyres on Kwikfit, the recommended tyre for this car is 195/50/15 R.

My questions are:

1) Will the existing alloys fit the 195/50/15 replacement tyres, i assume yes because its the "15" that matters?

2) Would the difference be significant when I drive the car if I replace the front tyres to a narrow width (195 instead of 205), i.e. I replace front two tyres first instead of replacing all fours.

Any suggestions?
