I have the original 5.5Jx15 steel wheels and looking to get new tires. Below are some photos I've found on the net of these wheels with Nexen N5000 Tire P195/65R15 - $68 at wmart. I know they are not stock but I like how they fit and that they're a little wider. Beyond likely rubbing the well when flipping a bitch too far, is there any other reason I shouldn't pull the trigger?
What about other tier combos? I'm not swapping the wheels. This car is unmolested and I'm keeping the originality. NOT MY CAR (I wish).

nice deal, I'd buy 'em if I was in need of tires. From what I can gather you won't have any rub issues as these are slightly smaller diameter than stock tires.
That's the size I'm moving up to later. http://www.914world.com/specs/tirecalc.php |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Does that mean your car will be driving soon? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I've got the GO part, just need the STOP part. I've got the thing running well on jackstands at least. I'm working with Eric @PMB on the breaks which I'm pretty sure are shot. I have a 2-year daughter (1 when I first got the car) and a tight budget. I just sold my 93 civic dx that sat more than drove so I have a little cash to move forward. |
