Dear, the parts I just sold paid for that part ;) Group: Members Posts: 1,568 Joined: 26-December 02 From: Williamsburg, VA Member No.: 16 |
I am getting ready to order some tires.
I can't get the size I want and the closest I can get is .8" shorter in the front? Is this too much? Cheers |

Any difference is gonna effect you speedo - but too much?
Many go to 205x50x15 - this is 2 inches shorter than stock - it effects speedo and has a gear ratio effect as well but limits sidewall flex pretty well I'd guess. I went with 195x60x15. http://www.914world.com/specs/tirecalc.php?...9c40a0307373ee7 Jim |

that's fine, as long as you have the same diameter side to side..... there a many performance cars that run smaller diameter tires up front..... |
