Hi folks

Has anyone chaged form the stocks to 15" rims and tires? If so, what's
the actual tire size to compensate for the change? I'm finding that
selection is better and cheaper for 15" tires and I plan to get a
winter set on steelies in the near future.

Cheers

Alex

No simple answer to this question Alex. Tire sizes are ratios. You have to
decide what tread width you want on the road before you can calculate the
series. Look around on line (google is your friend...). There are
calculators out there that will walk you through the calculations to arrive
at the same height as you currently have.
