195Mm On 14 Inch Alloys On A 145/146

Recommended Posts

maybe I'll try it to improve her looks. now she is with the originals 185mm thread tyres. I know it will increase wheel diameter, but I think it's just enough to correct the 2-3% error I get on speedo. anyone tried? what's your feedback?

its the side profile that will change your speedo not the width 185/ 60 195/50 number the 50 and 60 that will determine tyre height and overall circumfrence that and wheel size.

did not made myself clear, sorry. I'm trying to switch 185/60 R14 tyres for 195/60 R14 ones. that will increase width as well as diameter. anyone tried?

The only difference between the 2 sizes you have here is the tyre width the 185 and 195 is the tread/tyre width the 60 the same on both sizes you have put is the height of the side of the tyre the diameter will stay the same. Just wider

the "60" on 185/60 means 60% of tyre width will be tyre's height. that will be 0,60x185 = 111 mm. on a 195/60 would be 0,60x195=117mm

since the alloy is the same, difference in diameter for the whole tyre would be 2x117-2x111 = 12mm

 

overall diameter would be

 

for the 185/60 R14

2x111 + rim diameter = 222mm + 14inchx25,4mm = 577,6mm

 

for the 195/60 R14

2x117 + 14x25,4 = 589,6mm

 

12mm difference as well

they will fit but thought that the 60 related to the tyre hight not a percentage of width

Whats the weather like in PORTUGAL :Smug:
