hi! newbie lang here. i just wanna ask if i can change my 98 sentra's stock tires 185/65 r14 to 195/75 r14? would this fit inside the wheel wells? malapit na kac maupod ang tires ko n i saw this tire of such dimension sa pricesmart kanina. sasayad kaya yung tire kapag naka full turn? tnx so much. :D

masyadong mataas yun profile ng tires, 75 is too high, try 195/60 R14

Malamang sasayad. Try the 60 series na advice ni hybrid. The outer diameter of your existing tire should be the basis.

and when changing tire size, be also aware that this will also affect the accuracy of your speedometer reading.

check this site to calculate for the changes.

195/60R14 has the same overall diameter as your 185/65R14

pwede

you have to replace the speedometer gear inside the tranny

IMO huwag na kasi the difference, assuming hindi malaki masyado yung new tire & wheel, would be in the vicinity of 3%, normal wear ng tires is around 4% so hindi rin naman accurate yung speedo in the first place e.
