ASSISTANCE Suspension, Brakes & Wheels
1

ive got the BMW bottlecap wheels with 195/65-14 and a stock suspension setup. id like a wider tire like a 205 but should i get them at 60 or 55 and will it fit my narrow wheels?
i was thinking 205/60 but i see everyone suggesting the 55s instead of the 60s and i cant figure out exactly why but id say its safe to guess it could be so they dont rub on whatever suspension setup might be on the car.

ive searched on this for a while but its hard to know whos got what tires, how wide the wheels are and what suspension setup.

According to that calculator, 205 55 14 will be way too small. 205 60 14 will be a tad smaller than stock bmw size.

if you are looking to get closest to stock integra size… you will want to go 205 55 14

ok, i guess thats what ill likely go with then.

id sorta like to go back with the 60 series in all actuality if that was possible. anyone know if a 205/60 14 would have any clearance issues
