id like to have a nice looking tire - I know the tires can vary on width even if the numbers are the same- the Potenza hangs over the rim a good bit- id like more than the thickness of 2 credit cards for clearance so short of risking making a mess of the fenders more than they had been I thought someone here might have had clearance issues with 7" rims might have found a good performance tire that is not quite as wide??

The answer that you probably don't want to hear is go to a 6 inch rim on stock fenders.
if you go from 205 to 195 that is only gaining you 5mm or about 1/4 inch clearance on each side at the tread level. . the sidewalls at the rim will be the same. . |
