'09 5-door LB w/ Tanabe NF210 springs. Need new tires.

[IsLNdbOi]

So I have Tanabe NF210 springs on my '09 5-door LB. All these years, I've had Bridgestone Potenza tires (RE92 - P185/60R15).

It's time for new tires and I'm looking at Bridgestone Ecopia EP44 tires that are P185/65R15.

Will I have any issues with these Bridgestone Ecopias?

WIth stock wheels and no spacers I doubt you will ever run into rubbing issues

Ok, in addition to the Tanabe NF210's I also have MB Drifter wheels. I believe they're 15".

i'd go 205/55R15 with 15x7 wheels..

If you arnt rubbing now going from 60 to 65 should not make much of a different.

185/60 = 111mm profile

185/65 = 120.25mm profile

thats only a 9.25mm difference which is just about 3/8".

Im assuming your wheels/tires are not flush to your fenders at 7" +40 so any change in height should not be noticed much. When you hit big bumps does the tire touch the top of the wheel well? That may be the only thing that could change and i even doubt that.

I ended up going with Kumho EcoWing KH30s. The Kumhos are P185/65R15 86H BW.. Not sure if the sound I hear on some bumps are the wheels hitting the wheel wells or if they're the Tanabe springs.

That's really interesting, since you are stretching..

What is "stretching"?
