Tire size and rubbing?
 
I have an EG hatch with neuspeed springs lowered roughly 2inches front n back... I have an opportunity to buy a set of wheels with tires but can't try them on so I was wondering...

Will 195/60r15 tires fit on my EG without rubbing? If so... Will it look awkward with that wheel size? Looking for opinions... Thanks

What is the size and offset of the wheels?

Also, those tires are considerably taller than OEM. It will noticeably throw off your speedometer, and will make your particular setup much more likely to rub.

I currently have 13" steelies because I have been rebuilding the motor etc... The wheels to be purchased are the "fat five" GSR wheels.

How much would it throw off my speedometer?

195/50R15 would be the narrowest with the correct overall diameter (22.7"), the 195/60R15 is 24.2" tall, or just under 7% bigger. As mentioned above, those would most likely rub (especially if lowered)

R 40 or R 45 or R50 will be fine for you :)
