Hi Guys,

i currently have a set of 195/50/15's on my 1000 and they rub a little on the gaurd, i have trimmed as much as possible but in still about 3mm shy of not scrubbing when punching it through corners, my question is are 195/45/15 a smidgen narrower aswell as a lesser sidewall.

or does anyone know of a slightly smaller 195/50/50 as i would think brands differ a little. (currently running federals)

Cheers

sorry wrong section, thought i was in the main forum when i posted

they shouldnt be.... it depends on the brand.... more expensive brands are truer to the size (usually) because of the stronger sidewalls, cheaper brands tend to flex a little more in the sidewall areas making them scrub.... ring Baz at Datsport.com he told me all this lol

The 195 will still be a 195 only the height of the sidewall will change, if you need something narrower try a 185.

there are no 185/50/15s and there is 1 185/45/15 in a nankang tyre but nobody seems to have any or even get them in Aus

get a guard roller, roll the lip and it may slightly pump the guard without too much trouble..

one prob with rolling is its a 4 door, and there is the rear door jamb to contend with

In Sydney there is a tyre shop that sell 175-55-15. Im running them on my 1200 coupe. They look smaller than the 195-50-15 on the rear of the car. I think the are oem tyres on the smart cars.

Use 175/70 on the front. Then they will be just as big in diameter as 195/50, but 20 mm narrower.

i have 185 45 15" on my 6.5" rims makes a big difference in clearance, and yes they are Nankangs i think NS2 or something
