Hi All
Wanting to go up a width or two on my std 15" Vx alloys. They currently have 205/65/15s.
Can any one say if 225/60/15s will fit safely on the rims? ;D
-
HAve a look for a tyre calculator convertor thingy on google that should let you know for definate :y
-
i think the saying is 2 sizes up / 1 down :y
will have to stick too 65 section tyres though on 15 inch wheels :y
think your looking at 225 / 65 /15 max :y
-
thanks for the answer but why do i need to stick to 65 profile?
i was hoping to use 225 / 60 /15 as they are almost the same diameter.
-
diameter of the tyre will be out ( smaller)
it will make your speedo / ode meter reading wrong :(
15" tyres is 65
16" --"-- 55
17" --"-- 45 ect :y
-
oh i thought 60,65,75 etc was the height ratio or profile factor (eg % of width) and can be anything on an size if the wheel is design to take it? :-/
