You don't want those sizes.

Just get some 205/55-14's and be happy with the many choices out there.

Yeah Yokohama makes the A032R in both S and H compounds for 185/60/14. Probably not going to find much of anything in a 185/65/14 R compound....other then rally tires.

Does __S rules only state OEM wheels? Or OEM tire sizes too? If so he's stuck with stock size. He said he wanted to run stock class.

What the heck is __S?

Stock-class rules require stock-size wheels within 1/4" of offset. Tires have to meet the availability requirements and fit without rubbing holes in things.

___ = blank and S = stock. You know AS, BS, CS etc.... He said he wanted to run stock class.

I was just wandering if that required the same tire size.

HC runs Toyo RA-1 R-compound tires. They're not the stickiest or the cheapest, but they seem to last a while. I think the smallest width I've seen in the 14" RA-1's is 205 ... so I guess this post isn't very helpful afterall.

Uh, factory size wheels in Stock classes... but any tire that will fit on the rim. Look at 195/55/14's or 205/55/14's and you will find many more choices. (Hard to beat the Kumho Victoracers though) Yes, the 205's will fit on 5" rims. You can also run 205's up front and 195's in the rear to help the car rotate.
