wheel change.....performance diff?
so heres the deal,i got some 16x7 rotas with 205/40 yoko a520s right now and im seeling them and i need new wheels for the summer. Im thinking about picking up these ls meshes that i can get for a killer price.If i get these, i would put 195/50 azenis on them. My question is, would there be a noticable diffrence in the handling between the two. Im mostly concerned with switching from a 7in wide wheel to a 6 in wide wheel. bring it on with the coments.

Re: wheel change.....performance diff? (second edition)
there will be a difference... depending on your car, you may or may not have power steering. switching from a 185/65/13 to a 215/50/15 drag radial is huge! (thats my case)... 30mm (3cm on each side) is a drastic change. my little hands were struggling (i have no power steering).
in your case, 205 to a 195 is not huge, nor is 7in. to 6in.
but... you'll feel a difference, just depends how much if you're weak like me

If you put LS meshies on, the only available size for azenis that you would be able to use is 205/50...the 195/50 azenis are only in 14". And your car would handle probably 3 times better because azenis are one of the best gripping tires for under 100 bucks that you can buy.
