195/55

 

195/50/15
205/50/15
i would recomend either

 

they way it works out with falken tires is that the stock size should be 185/65r14 and with 195/55r15 it's .7 bigger in diamater and a 205/50r15 is .2 of inch smaller in diamater but is wider thats what i'm running on my ej8 and approx, a 2 inch drop i tuck tire and no rubb issues

 

195/50 is for the EG chassis, EKs use a slightly taller tire.

 

I am wondering what is the difference between the 96 and 97 aren't they the same car, also these will be going on my EK hatch with a 2.5" drop

 

No difference.

 

can anyone post pics of there car with the 195-55-15

 

this was last year when i was still running 195/55r15

 

here's my 205/50r15 on the front and still running 195/55r15 on the rear

 

Hello so I can use the 205-50-15 and there will be know problem what is the difference between the 205-50-25 and the 195-55-15 and also if I use the 205-50-15 will the car be higher off the ground compared to the 195-55-15.

Thank you:
Mark

Stock tire size is 185/65-14
That's 23.5" total diameter.

205/50-15 has a total diameter of 23.1"
and
195/55-15 has a total diameter of 23.4"

So as you can see, the difference is null. You're comparing 3 or 4 tenths of an inch.

If you were shooting for exactly the same size on a 15" rim 195/55-15 or 205/50-15 would be your best bet

 

Here is a web site that will tell you the over all and how many revs per mile and all the specs http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

 

with how low my car sits i only have a slight rub issue when there's 4 people in the car when i turn very hard to the right but besides that no complaits and i personaly like the ride quilty better with 205s abit softer and more of a contact patch with road and car will sit a touch lower then stock but not even enough to notice, i just wanted the same diamater of tire or smaller for acclertion
