Help on Tyre selection - asap - PLEASE!
Hello,

I have original 14 inch rims with tire size : 195/60/R14
I want to get my 13 inchs rims fitted...
13 x 7.0J ET-7

Wat tires/tire size should I use to keep it close to the OEM distance...
165? to pull the tires and make the rims pop out a bit more?
165/60/13? I have noooo clue whatsoever about tires and all that... Sorry.

Please help! Thanks!!!

This is the problem now Tongue

165/75R13 would match OEM size, but it's probably easier to check what sizes are available at all in 13" and then plug the numbers in here http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg4.html does all the math for you Wink

Thanks!

I just came across this link also http://www.buggyboys.be/nl/tech_tellerafwijking.htm

And found out if I would choose this tire-size : 175/70/13
The height would then be 1 cm smaller and -5cm with the wheel running

So it would almost be the same with OEM but the wheels would spin faster vs the OEM size.

185/60/13
Probably the best selection of tyres in this size.
Plenty of used race tyre bargains available for drifting in 13" too :wink:

Don't lower the front of the car too much in relation to the back.

Thanks... the lowering in front was due to the OEM size wheels... I did not know it was going to be THIS AWFULL with the new rims and tyres hahaha
I apologize for the nose-diving-look Big Grin

That's the default size for the pizzacutter rims. Big Grin

Agreed. I used 185/60-13 slightly stretched onto that exact same wheel.
