What's the difference between 195 and 205?

205's will be wider. But personally I would use OEM size, 195/60/15. 50 series are too thin IMO. Might make your entire wheel look too small.

Cool thanks, So the tires won't rub at all when i drop? (195/60)?

Thats OEM size. Everybody and their brother slams their shit on stock wheels at one time or another. You shouldn't have any rubbing issues.

195/60/r15 Thats the size I am running on my lude wheels and have not had any problems at all

195/60/15 to run stock size, or if you're dropping it, I would go 205/55/15.

THANKS ! This helped so much, i'll stick to OEM size 195/60/15. You guys think Falken Tires for $47 a pop is good?(NEW)

[crazymikey]

If I could get brand new tires for $200 I'd be laughing too. So to answer your question, yes.

Falken is a great tire brand too.

i like 195/55 myself thats what im running on my blades looks pretty good. i had 205/55 before they just seemed kinda beefy.

[crazymikey]

I don't like the 195/55's because I seem like I have too much gap even with a 2/1.7 drop.

just some good information to everyone who wants to know what these numbers mean. the large number i.e 195, 205 ect. which like most people know represents the tire width. The second number is the one most people get confused with, it is not a direct measurement of the side wall. it is in fact the sidewall to width ratio so a "50 series" would be a tire with side walls 50% as tall as they are wide.

edit: the R stands for radial which is the construction of the tire. and of course 14 would be the wheel size

and if anyone cares to know more let me know i'll have a little class for you guys... lol j/k
