tire size
I just bought those size of tires. they look good on their own since its almost low profile, but that gap is way to big between the tires and the car now. So its practically a must to lower your car with those dimensions.
also, your car now has to rev higher to get normal speed with bigger tires.
at 100km/h i use to be at 3,000 rpms. now im at 3200 rpms. it gets worse the higher speed you go.
you should do some calculations with tire sizes.
normal size is 185/65, which means the size of the wall will be 185*.65=120.25mm
(205/50) 205*.5=102.5mm
.: 120.25-102.5mm = 17.75mm smaller
so mess around with calculations like that, and you'll be able to figure out the gap between your car and the tires. I got too greedy
does anyone know if we can put 215 on our stock 15" rims?
