Help With tire size
i want to lower my car but i fear that the tires on my 14's are too big/thick. tire specs are p195/70r14. is there any tire that is smaller than this one that would fit 14's? like low profile tires

Re: Help With tire size
Let's give this a try, the first number indicates the tire's section width in millimeters (note that this is not the thread width but the width of the tire at the sidewall) 195mm in your case, the second number indicates the height of the tire also in mm as a percentage of that first number 195/70, so your tire is 70% as tall as it is wide or 136.5mm tall and the third number indicates the wheel size. To calculate into inches divide those numbers by 25.4. Hope that helps.

Re: Help With tire size

Re: Help With tire size
i mean im going 205's but it all depends of preference im honestly not happy with the 185's cause they dont hold up on boost ive had 205's before on my special editions and the did pretty well . but if you stick with 195's and dump just get camber kit . you'll be set
