Low profile 14's?

[Robert060379]

Planning a brake conversion and need to fit 14's to my car. Sadly the 185-60-14's on the wheels at the moment rub the inner plastic tim on any more than half lock. Anyone know of a set of low profile 14's I can use? Thanks.

umm, 185/50 or 195/50?

e.g. yoko A539.

How about stretch some 175's?

Put the original, better feel

Only found 185-55-14's so far for the sake of 5mm it's not worth bothering with I'll find some smaller disks.

55 does not mean 55mm.

185 is the tyre width in mm. 55 is the height of the tyre sidewall in a percentage of the width. so the side wall height of a 185/55 is 101.75mm, or just over 10cm. the sidewall height of a 185/60 is 111mm. so a difference of just under 10mm.

you can get 175/50s (bridgestones) for around £50 a corner. 185/50s (yokos) for around £45 a corner. 195/50s for around £50 a corner and you used to be able to get 195/45 and even 195/40 (continentals) for around £65 a corner.

Have a look on Mytyres.co.uk. They sell loads of sizes. Just set tyre type and speed index to "all" before searching.

Thanks for that. I'll look into it before deciding what disks to use.
