14s to 16s
Thursday, May 04, 2006 11:20 AM
Hey everyone.

I searched the tires for but couldn't seem to find an answer.
My car have 195/70/14s on it now, I'm looking into picking up a set of 16" inch rims. I was thinking of 205/55/16 tires, I was wondering how, if at all, this affects the speedometer.

Also with the Eibach Pro-kit + KYB Setup that I have, what's a good offset?

i think 215/50R16 should work and not change much

The reason I asked about the 205/-55/16s is that I noticed in the Tire FAQ that there was a factory 205/55/16 tire package.

Your speedometer would be off by 0.3MPH at 60MPH...

^^ Yeppers, link works just fine.

I'm running 225/50r16's and that is another option for you. Appearance wise, same sidewall height as the 205's, just a smidge wider on the tread patch.
