damocl Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Currently got a 1.25 61reg fiesta and its on 15inch steelies. The tyres that are supplied are dunlops and i find them a bit "thin?" whats the chunkiest tyre you can fit on these rims for the fiesta? I always find chunkeir tyres more comfortable.

iNath Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I assume the standard tyres are 195/50/15? Any changes and you'll knock your speedo out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damocl Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 so any changes at all will change it? used to driving 14inch alloys with thick bouncy comfy tyres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iNath Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 You can possibly go down to 14" with a bigger sidewall (or up to 16/17" with smaller) without affecting Speedo too much by using online calculators to see which size would suit.

Imbalance Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Hey As others wrote, on 15" it will affect the drive and speedo with bigger profile, or get 14" with 185/60 tyres instead... You can fit 195/55 or 185/60 on 15", it will be slower and it might be problematic with a curcum that exceeds 2%, as abs brakes might not work as intended..
