December 18th, 2007 02:49 PM #4Rim Diameter: 14 in
185/65 205/65 195/60
Section Width: 7.28 in 8.07 in 7.67 in
Rim Width Range: 5 - 6.5 in 5.5 - 7.5 in 4.5 - 7.5 in
Overall Diameter: 23.46 in 24.49 in 23.21 in
Sidewall Height: 4.73 in 5.24 in 4.60 in
Radius: 11.73 in 12.24 in 11.60 in
Circumference: 73.70 in 76.93 in 72.91 in
Overall Diameter Difference: + 4.21% - 1.07%
If you change from 185/65 to 205/65
* the brakes might not be able to handle the bigger tires
* loss of torque (slower acceleration due to bigger diameter)
* the wider and higher tires might hit the fenders, frame and coilsprings
* may need to adjust wheel alignment and camber
* the wider tires might be too wide for the stock wheels
* wider tires mean higher gas consumption
If you really want to change the size of your tires it's better if you pick 195/60. Your tires will look a little wider and a little lower without sacrificing your suspension settings and the integrity of your braking power. Since the diameter of 195/60 is smaller, expect a very little increase in gas consumption because the tires will be rotating more per kilometer.
KBR is right, the stock size is still the best.
