I'm currently running 185/65-15 cheapo tires. I want to upgrade to some performance tires (g-Force Sport COMP-2) and the only size I can get is 195/55-15. My passenger rear tire has the closest gap between the tire and fender being about 1/2" calculating for the widest part of the tire. None of the gaps on the other tires are the same and all are bigger. Also my rear tires have a rather significant negative camber as my inside threads are significantly more worn than the outside.
Should I be concerned about changing tire size at all and especially if I get an alignment which may reduce the camber (so the top part of the tire would be moved outwards)?    |

This handle is about 16mm / .62". I'm running 140 Weltmeister springs on Bilsteins that are set to the 5th notch from the bottom out of 6. How far would the tire come up in operation? My dad weighs 220 and can't compress the suspension that much shoving down on the fender. Second thoughts on it being safe adding .4" total (.2" on outside) to tire width .51" reduction in sidewall.
It would definitely be close.  |
