dutchkev Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 (edited) standard size is 195/50/15 you can go as low as 195/45 or even 195/40 but dont expect much comfort Edited August 16, 2009 by dutchkev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dutchkev Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 yeah there will, will hold the road a little better if you go down in profile size, but will also be more uncomfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Some say the 40mm drop makes it handle worse than the standard height (unless u re-engineer other components to correct ur camber and roll centre etc) 195/50/15 is the correct tyre for 15" rims,195/55s will dward the alloys and 195/45s will make ur wheel/tyre combo look tiny in the arches TBH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
