Default HX on Low Pros?

Ok so I got HX rims, and I was wondering if anyone seen or has opinions about HX rims on Low Profile Tires. Would they look good? And if you have any pics that will really help me out. Thanks

Nonono, your ride would be crap. The rims are only 14" anyway, and would look awful with anything low profile. Personally, I would stick 195 Azenis on them, but it you're somewhere that gets a lot or rain and ice, look around. Don't go low profile, go 185-195/60-65

I agree, I think a 60-65 sidewall would look better than having low-profile tires on a 14" wheel.

Awesome, now people are buying tires based on how they look...

I had the Azenis on mine for a while and liked them. They were loud as **** and wore quickly, but were sticky.

195/60/14 gets my vote.

I went with 195/65/14 Dunlop Sport A2's, have about 30,000 miles on them. I admit they are pretty big, I like how it fills up the wheel well. The overall diameter of my tires would look better if it was on a 15" rim, that would have a lot less sidewall. With the bigger tire it does ride a lot better, and with bigger tires it slows the miles down but you have to watch your speedometer cause that will be reading slower than what you are doing. When these wear out I'll probabally go with 195/60/14 that should have around same height as 185/65/14 just a little wider.
