Going from 14 in wheels to 15's

[petrified.rabbit]

if you go to 15" wheels get 195/50r15 tires, not the 185/55r15. they are close enough in diameter, but the contact patch will help performance. Plus it is a more common tire size and cheaper.

I have 205/50/15. They did rub a little on the inner fender which was easy to modify with some massaging care of a 2.5 pound hammer. Followed up with some flat black paint and you can't even tell.

Here is a picture of my finger with the car in there too.

Ive got 17x7 rims with 205/40s no rubbing issues at all, when my speedo reads 60mph, the car is actually doing 61.5mph, not a big enough difference to matter to me

i have 18s and running 35 profile and my speedo is actualy spot on...

215/35/18 but i want 40s

Actually if you both are running 35's your speedo's would technically be aprox. 2.4mph slower than your actual speed. Speedo 60mph<Car 62.4mph.

I got 205/50 r17 rims from a srt4 'tsw' I have rubbing on the inner fender well too
But that's only when I pop u-ies. But my speedometer is off by some but I got a scan gauge to tell me the correct speed in real time. The website seregey mentioned your supposed to read 3% or lower when upping size from the factory tire. My 205/50 r17 read almost 9%! Which is way to much your car can handle and I'm already having transmission issues Andorra can cause
Brake failure at high speeds only cause those tires are bigger n heavier than your poor little 1.6l engine can handle. So I'll b downgrading a bit soon still stayin with the 17" rims
But lighter n maybe 205/40 tires.
