195/50/15 are much cheaper than 195/55/15.
I have 2001 model and next week I'm fitting 15x7 ET38 rims with 195/50/15 tires. Not lowered. |

Will a larger diameter tire which will lower engine revs give me better fuel economy? Most of my driving in on the freeway. The stock tire is 175/65/R14.
I can get the Michelin Hydroedge in: 185/65/R14 185/70/R14 or 195/70/R14 (assuming this tire will fit the clearances) While bigger tires are heavier and less efficient, they will also raise the effective gearing,lowering the engine revs which should benefit MPG's right? Thanks in advance for the help with this. Todd |

Allright folks.
Getting some +45 ET RP03's - 17x7. Are 215/45/17 the rec tires for this? I am lowered about 1.5 inches. I see the diameter is more. So maybe 215/40 or 205/40? Confused?!?! Thanks! Last edited by sleey0; 09-02-2010 at 11:51 PM. |

One more for you kimona:
17x7 +38mm ET enkei ev5's. Recommend the OEM 205/45 or 205/40 (or anything else)? I was told the 205/40's should be fine on less than 2" drop. THANKS! |

I would prefer 205/45's with your 1.5" drop; however, with ET38-40, I'd probably run 205/40's... a tyre size I really don't like too much. If at all possible, choose 7's with ET42 or greater; they just work better up front for a simple bolt and go application. |

Yeah, I know. The only reason I am even thinking about the 38ET's is because of price.
Can get an entire set of wheels for $300 and they are in excellent condition with minimal pitting. As opposed to the RP03's that will run at least $1k without tires. lol |

Yeah, but the dual-drilled Enkei EV5's are rather unsightly IMHO.

I went with 15x7 Sport Technic Mono10 wheels and Falken Ze 912 225/50r-15 tires. I will have to weigh the package next rotation. Not a set-up for lowering but the stability calms my nerves. Also, was almost sucked under tractor/trailer's too many times with the old 185/60r-15 factory set-up. |
