  • Was checking out my wheels

    I changed the brakes yesterday and decided to throw my Mazda rims on the front of the car....the tires for the rear are bad and off the rims...lol.
    I like them...and man does it make it handle totally differant.
    185/60/14....lol. It is like driving a go cart. But when I get new tires I am getting them a little smaller...there is not even enough room between the inner tire and the strut tower to stick my finger in there. They don't rub though...except one time in a very hard/sharp corner I made...

    Looks good... suits the car really well. I'm kind of partial to red Fesitvas :wink: What size tire are you considering?

              LOL...2 red ones for me and a red Aspire, I think I am going to go with 165/60/14, with the 185's there is a rub every once in a great while...hard corner like at an intersection....and they are about 3 mile off, so at 55 I am at like 58.

                  Willie, where you gonna get 165/60-14s?

                  I know they have them in Europe, but how expensive will they be? That would be a great size for 14 X 5" wheels! Keepin' it lightweight.

                      Yep, 165/60-14s would be a great size, like 185/55-13s and 185/50-14s, but good luck on finding some!!
