tyres arhh

[ice man]

hi im running 205/60/15s at the moment.but as in going lowwww. just wonderd if anyone has ever run 195/45/15s.???? pros and cons please my rims are 6" wide all round and i want those tyres on the front thanks. if not would 165/50/15s go on a rim that wide :?: :?

I'd say a 165 would be a bit tight on a 6" rim, especially such a low profile and I guess you know you'll end up with a low top speed? Looks like you'll drop about 4" on the overall dia, equates to a 10mph loss at 60mph, so you'll only end up doing 50mph.

im goin to keep the rear tyres 205/60 /15s because there the driving wheel im thinking the speed wont change ? am i right

Yes that should be okay, they are only a tad smaller than stock wheels at 185/80 14. Your gearing will be correct, however the speed will read high as the speed is measured off the front NS hub not the gearbox.


I used this website to check for profile and rolling radius etc
