Need new rubber .... all four wheels...... pretty-much stock 1.7 D-jet ..... weekend warrior..... Riviera Mags
what-about (185 65 15 ) ? or stay with stock size (165) ? without fender clearance problems .... Brand ? (Yoko, Cont, Mich ? ) Any advice welcome, oh, not too pricey !

the offset of the Rivie's will drive what tire fits. If you have the 914 offset wheels then you can probably run 185 or 195s. If you have the bug offset I've heard 165s are pretty much all that you can fit. I've never tried this on Rivieras so this is just what I remember seeing other folks mention here.

Good luck.

I prefer the Magnums...

Oh, we're talking about "tires"... ummmm....

I had Rivieras and had problems on the passenger side with 195s rubbing...

Left side was fine..

Empis (bug offset) 195/60-15
Real Fuchs same size 195/60-15 . Plus I hear the 205/50-15 is the cats meow.

My rear fender has rolled edge Empis 205/60-15. I can get my pincky almost inbetween.

I am a fan of Kumho Ecsta.

I run 195 65s on the riverias with no problems with stock fenders, I think they are the correct offset
