I am getting ready to order some tires.

I can't get the size I want and the closest I can get is .8" shorter in the front?

Is this too much?

Cheers

Any difference is gonna effect you speedo - but too much?

Many go to 205x50x15 - this is 2 inches shorter than stock - it effects speedo and has a gear ratio effect as well but limits sidewall flex pretty well I'd guess.

I went with 195x60x15.

that's fine, as long as you have the same diameter side to side.....

there a many performance cars that run smaller diameter tires up front.....
