With the above combo you'll be running a 70 profile tyre.

If you don't like the bulginess then move to a larger diameter wheel, which will allow you to run a lower profile tyre.

The 175 HR14 is an 80 profile but this is rarely written but was sometimes shown on the tyre sticker.

Depending on the width of your 15" rims, if you go with a 205/60/15 or 225/50/15 then your very close to the rolling radius of the 175/80/14

If you've got 8" rims I'd run 225/50/15 front and rear, a 205 might be a bit stretched on an 8" rim

IMO of course

nice, thats how i need it to be :)

i am a little afraid with wide tires on the front, most old cars seems to handle very bad with wide tires on the front.

Thats a fair point, personal preference could come into it too, my steering is a little heavy at parking speed but is quite acceptable above that.

I like to think my car handles pretty well, there is room for improvement though, but I have done other things apart from just wider tyres/wheels which will make a difference, as I'm sure you know everything has to work together to get the best out of the whole car.

What he said except I'd add that 225s all round is best - NO issues for handling except only better and if weight is really a problem............fit ps !

All sounds very complicated. I have a 260Z with Minilites, and that has 205x60x15s on it which look great, and it runs great on them too. Visit my gallery to see the car.
