    Wheel/tire suggestion

    Hello all,

    Yet another will this fit question, I am looking at purchasing a set of TR C1M's, they are 15x7 with a 30mm offset. The tires i will buy with them are 195/50R15, does anyone have any experience with this wheel/tire size?

    I drive an NB with stock suspension, my main concerns are will they fit and will driving characteristics be affected?


    Thanks

    The 205 looks more aggressive (wider tread), the slightly taller sidewall "MAY" improve ride some, and the 205 won't miss up speedo readings.

    BUT.............the 205 is more $$$, and the 205's weigh more than the 195.....

    If you are just DD the car, get the 195 it may save you enough to fill your gas tank up!
