[BIG`O]

what profile dc4t?

[muli]

195 is the max on those vtis wheels

[BIG`O]

any idea what profile they are the stocko tyres?
brand etc..

Stock Tyres 185/55. But as someone mentioned the 6 rims will take 195. To maintain same diameter they would need to be 195/50 tyres (actually there would be -1.45% difference). These Genuine Honda stock alloys are made by Enki and are of course available from any Honda dealer.

really? i put 205 on 15x6 before

[vividjazz]

A rim that is too narrow in relation to the tyre width will allow the tyre to distort excessively sideways under fast cornering. On the other hand, unduly wide rims on an ordinary car tend to give rather a harsh ride because the sidewalls have not got enough curvature to make them flex over bumps and potholes.

A 205/50/15 can go on a 15x6 rim but a 205/45/15 should go on a 15x7. So its not just the the tyre width but in conjuction with its aspect ratio that determines an appropriate rim width.
A 205/50/15 will give the same rolling diameter as the stock 185/55/15 tyres (actually 0.26% difference).

[BIG`O]

so a 205/50/15 is the widest i can get for those wheels, but will ride a bit harsher yet still handle reasonable for a small wheel?

what is the diff between a 15x7 and a 15x6
rob should i have gotten 205/45 on my 15x7 rims instead of my 195/50?

[TRoLL]

just checked it out at bridgestone, potenza's only come in 205/50/R15
205/45/R16...that makes me feel good now that i didnt waste my money on wrong tyres

Troll, you really don't want the wide tyres mate.. 195 should be good enough.. the wide, the slower it goes and the more fuel it uses.
