Thread: 205/50/15 On NB Stock Wheels

    Default 205/50/15 On NB Stock Wheels

    Has anyone put 205/50/15 on the stock nb wheels, they come 195/50/15 stock

    How would it effect the car going a size wider all around ?

    Hurt performance ?

    Hurt Gas Mileage ?

    Throw off speedometer ?

    Reason i'm asking, I'm getting 4 brand new tires in this size for under $300 mounted balanced and installed.

    Here's the differences from the Discount Tire website... http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/infoTireMath.dos
    Personally I don't think you'll notice any different between a 205 vs the 195.

    People put 205/50's on all the time. On a DD car I don't think it really makes a difference.

    My DD's are 205/50-15's and my AX tires are 205/50-15's on stock NB wheels. my previous DD tires on the NB were 195/50-14's. Can't say that I noticed any big difference as far as gas mileage, speedometer, etc. I notice more of a change based upon the rating of the tires. my higher performance RE-11 AX tires have a much stiffer sidewall than me Falken 912 DD tires.

    Here's first generation Azenis 205/50-15 on '97 15x6 STO wheels. I had no issues with them.

    I've always put 205's on that wheel for my daily. It works fine, no noticable change in the speedo.
