I am currently running 185/70/15s on Mahle wheels.
I recently bought a set of Fuchs wheels with nearly new 205/60/15 tires. I am planning to have the Fuchs polished for use on my car, but I am not sure which tires I should use. Can anyone tell me the difference in width between these two tire sizes? My current 185/70s have very liitle clearance between the sidewall and the rear fenders. Thanks for the help! ____________________________ '76 Malaga Red |

The numbers on the tires correspond to different measurements. The first refers to the width of the tread in millimeters. The second number is the aspect ratio, or hieght of the sidewall. It is a percentage of the tire width (ie - 205/60; the sidewall is 60% of width), and the last number is the rim diameter in inches.
So your new tires are wider and lower. I'm pretty sure lots of guys run this size tire with Fuchs on their cars without problem. |
