Default Using 195/50/15 on stock rim

Will the rim easier be bent over pot hole?
How it look? By my calculation, the wheel will be ~1cm more than before...anyone have photo?
Will the reduction in weight justify the reduction in contact patch?

Thanks

195/50 will not be that thin~!

so dont worry~ just to expect to add some more miles on the actual speed on ur

speedo

The speedometer will be reading a bit faster than actual speed when overall diameter is decreased.

yup, that's about it... expect better handling on curves, because the rubber wont bend that much on hard cornering.

And better acceleration because of the final reduction....
