  • whos running 14inch wheels

    Who is running 185-60-14 tires

    i want to go with a 14 inch wheel.... But the 165-65-14 are way more expensive

    just wondering if you guys are having issues like rubbing

    thanks

    im running miata wheels with 185/60/14 tires, i only rub on large dips in the road at high speeds. The rear dips down and rubs, front is fine. I have a good 1-2 inches btw the top of the tire and fenderwell so it doesnt rub except on big dips.

      I've got 185/60/14 miata daisys. I'm running on cut springs(2 coils cut), and rub a little in the rear on bumps/dips

          I'm running 185/55/14 and they rubbed on most bumps untill I put the rubber coil spring spacers on them. That fixed the rear but I cant get the front springs open enough to put them in there. I still have the original springs so I am sure they sag some.

            hard to find a good tire and wheel combo that wont rub

            185's are way cheaper thet 165's and alot more choices.....

            I went on tirerack.com and looked at 14 inch wheels for the 98 suzuki swift

            there are a few nice wheels....... but I want no rubbing so having hard time to choose

                  I run 194/45/14 the fit great and my car is lowered. They probably cost alittle more money though.

                          They are almost the same diameter as the stock 12 inch tires. So the car would rev the same. They look like this.
