Default Whats Best?

Im currently trying to decide on a tire size for some HXs for my EJ8.
I want the car slammed.. so i was thiking the original size they come in(185/65/14), since my couzin has an HX but aint dummped so i dont know how it'll look!
But some people say 195/65/14.. and on a stickie here it say 195/60/14 along with 185/65/14..
So what do u think, i dont want to go lower than 185/65 so whats your suggestion??
TIA

Get 195/60-14. Unlike 185/65, there are some good tires in that size - the Falken Azenis RT-615 if you want the stickiest tire on dry pavement, or the Yokohama ES100 if you want a tire that lasts a lot longer and does well in rain.

195/65-14 is too big, and there aren't any decent tires that size; whoever recommended that size is an idiot.

And I don't know why you keep talking about "lowering" and "slamming". If you want to lower your car, you do it with the suspension, not the tires.

BTW, the rules say you shouldn't bump a topic more than once. Let alone bump after half an hour, which is just plain stupid.

haha my bad.. i know, i got the suspension but i dont want my tire rubbing the fender if the tire is too big, so thats why i thaught 185/65 was a good size..

i actually found some decent tires for the 185/65 since im not looking for real good tires!
