OK so I was searching around and ive found lots of people with the 175/50R13's and some with others like 175/60 and 175/75's but does any body have the 185/60R13 on their cars? I'm just debating between the 175/50 and 185/60's and im wondering about fitment issues on a stocker susupention....i know the 175's are good but do the 185s rub? I can get a good deal on the Sumitomos at work!

I ran 165/70/13 on some stock toyota steelies on my 88 L back in the day. There was occasionally a slight rub in the back if I was loaded down and hit a bump.youtube.com/neanderpaul 88 festiva LX w/BP G25 MR 5 speed waiting for wiring- 93 Festiva GL auto w/ air, waiting for B6t/G4A-HL - 98 Nissan Quest - 02 Mazda protege 5 wife's DD

you should be fine in the front, depending on the offset of your wheels you may need a spacer for the rear, not to clear the struts, but to clear the bolt where the rear arm attaches to the body.
i'm sure you can make it fit with little or no work though. I have 175/70's on mine and they rub on the fender in the rear if i have 6ppl in the car and hit a bump, but theres plenty of tire/strut. but i have aspire swap and the drums on the aspire are a bit thinker which is the equivalent of a 1/4" spacer or so.~Nate
