the alloys on the car had 185 tyres on it would 175 fit and would they be safe?

gte's come with 175 tyres on the 3 spokes i think dont they.
depends on thr alloy width. You can get various widths above the size of the alloy - they just have a curved tyre wall that sticks out so the allow is set in.
Do you know how wide the alloys are (not the tyres though)?

I agree with putting the newer tyres on the back, but probably not to put thinner tyres than the front on there :| ...dont know how that would feel to drive

its oversteer tastic :)
i was running 185 60 14 on the front and 165/70/13 on the back, you can feel the tyres fold over and tbh it gripped quite well
im now running 195/50 /15 all round :)
185 60 14 on the front and 165/70/13 on the back
some tyre fitting places/garages will refuse to put narrower tyres on the rear than the front as it can void your insurance if you crash.
