doesn't work that way... Posted by JimBlake [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: Tire question, whitesaab, Wed, 28 Jul 2004 12:40:42 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Check your math... 205 is the width, not the height. The /65 means the height is 65% of the width.
205/60-15 are already taller than stock, but now you're saying the car has 205/65-15 tires?? That's even taller yet! A lower-profile 205 tire would be a 205/55-15 or lower yet would be 205/50-15. See how that works?
Check out the tire specs on http://www.tirerack.com where they list the overall tread diameter. But I would have thought that 205/65-15 tires would be rubbing somewhere.
Brian's right. Turbos came with 195/60-15 tires & non-turbos came with slightly taller 185/65-15 tires.
