I've used 195/60's before (Azenis) and they were pretty big for the rim, but worked very well.

the ride's good, but i feel like theres times i feel like they're slipping away..but thats also including my recently swapped b16...with the d16..they were perfect but maybe its just me with a little more power being pumped out from the b16..i feel like the 195's are JUST cutting it but i wanna be comfortable taking smaller risks on 205's..

by the way i'm riding on tein's, so suspension wise i'm pretty well off, just feel like i need wider tires!

 

bump

First off, this tire is actually a 205/50/14. Secondly, it is a drag radial. And as such, these tires are not really designed for utimate handling on the street. If a 205 is really what you want, you are better off upgrading to a 15 inch rim and going with a 205/50/15. But if you REALLY want these tires, give the tire rack a call and ask them if they will fit.

ok awesome yea, that helps somewhat..i really also wanna stay away from getting 15" wheels i wanna keep my stock alloy's and you bring up a good point on the drag radial's not designed for handling.....but i guess i'm calling on all 14" alloy's sporting the 205's by now i dont really care what kind they are i'm pretty much set on getting 205's on my 14" so...

 

HX rims. 195/60/14 RT615 azenis. Very cheap. very effective. Light and tires are only about $85 each.

 

No, 205 will not fit a 14 inch rim

yea ..does anyone know?

 

im rocking 205's on my 14's right now.

 

That sucks! I just put on 195 60 14 azenis on my stock 14 inch rims. I called like 3 shops and they all said that 205 will not fit my 14 inch rim.
Oh well, good to know for next time.
At least I got a killer deal on the azenis - $186 total for 4 tires (through a wholesaler)

wow yea..i pm'd you..but i'm sure evryone else would like to know what brand/which tires are you riding on..thanks mate..

 

I am confused on why you guys are so stuck on the idea of the widest tire possible. I guess I can understand this if you are going straight. But if you are trying to make the car handle better wouldn't a proper size handle than some oversize tire that buldge out?

you know upon research i found the same result, throwing on a wider tire on a stock sized rim, will result in a bulge of the sidewalls, and in straight line thats not a problem but when handling is concerned they'll flex and work against the car's handling charecteristic...so i'm sticking to the 195's as they're fat enough...thanks...
