The tire size calculator on this site is pretty useful for determining that.

All, what impact do these various sizes have on the speedometer readings? Which size, (of sizes that are commonly available), would have the least impact on the speedometer? thx, Turk |

I used our site size calculator several years ago and bought Michelin 205/65/15 for my original steel 5.5" rims. They have been exactly the same diameter as original 165/15 and fill the wells, with a bit of an inner rub if I turn lock to lock, but have not touched the outer well edges in about 5 yrs. of driving. I discovered the front well top edges are already rolled from the factory!

Donald,
Given your tendency for aggression toward small orange cones I'd suggest 205.50X15, I have run them and they work fine without too much of a suspension hit and your speedometer will only be off by 10% or so... I know you probably don't intend to drive that car in that way but it will give you the same feel you want with the autocross car. |
