195/60/15 - Will it fit on stock steelies?

Big_Jim · 07-08-2009, 11:45 AM

i changed my suspension setup again.....

im running 195/60/15's in the rear with a 10mm spacer and -3 camber, slammed (coils spun alllllll the way down) on progress coilovers. I rub on bigger bumps with just me in the car. If i were to raise it up about a half inch to an inch i dont see it rubbing anymore.

I'm running the stock 15's (steelies) and it's dropped with megan racing springs. Would 25mm be too much?

25mm spacers? most likely too much.

Looks like 15mm should work well...

kinda on topic, here is a 195/60/15 on the factory xA alloys

they are only on the front in this pic. The rear is a 185/60

What is the benefit of the larger wheels over stock size?

Doesn't the engine have to work harder to turn them, giving poorer gas mileage, and no power boost?

I just want wider wheels not larger than stock diameter. I want 205's though and seems no one has done it. I guess 195's will be ok. I just hate the traction of 185's.

ive run the 195s on mine for over a yr of course no rub but if you r talking about running 205s on steelies i would not recommend it the ride is nicer mo grip and the bumps arent as harsh shortbus8 what kind of tires are those brand i mean. the sidewall looks better than mine

never mind 195/50 i have 195/60

You want wider TIRES not wheels... Well, wider wheels would be nice too, but 205/50 should work.
