How big is too big for 14\"x6.5\" Wheels?

Postby RaYmO » Tue May 22, 2007 11:22 pm

Hi Guys,

Just wondering what size tyre is ideal for a 14\"6.5\" rim:

185/60/14

OR

195/60/14

Image

I havent seen any examples of 205/60/14 but I think that may be too big.

Once I can figure out what size to go for, I'll start shopping for tyres... presently thinking about the Advan A032Rs if I can source them.

Thanks in advance guys

Go 185 dude...looks much better :)

195 makes it look like a dune buggy :P

I've had 195/60x14. Profile is just a little too high. Good for long touring, but that's not what the car's for.

185/60x14 is about the only thing really available.

I agree, 195/60 looks a bit oversized

185 all the way..... i have 205s on my 7 inch rim now, but will go back to 195 in the future....maybe even 185.
