i currently have 195/65/15 michelins and i was wondering if get 205/55/15 kumho 712's will my wheel gap increase or what? i currently love my drop, 1.5 finger gap all around but im worried it might change.

what other tire size do u guys recommend that still has a smaller sidewall compared to my current 195/65/15's?

thanks

 

205/55 is fine. There are others but good luck finding something in a 215/45-15.

 

yea but my main concern is that if the wheel gap will increase if i go with the smaller tires?

anyone have pics please?

 

205/55 is almost the same size as 195/65--maybe a little smaller.

 

i checked with http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and it says there is a -4.4% difference b/w the two. what do u think about that?

 

of course there is a difference. what else do you want us to say. the side wall is maybe 3 or 4 mm shorter. big deal, i could care less about how my wheel gap looks

 

whats a thoughguy?

 

Dude, 4% is just that...FOUR PERCENT. Big deal. You will be happier with the smaller sidewall anyway.

 

who knows ? lol

 

http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html you this thing to check the differences.

 

He just did. lol. Try to keep up.
