I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Tire size?

Post by Sean @ NDF » March 23, 2005

ALright, when I get new rims in a few months, what tire size should I go with.

I'm sticking with a 15" wheel because, lets face it, small wheels kick your ass. I have on my car now some 195.50.15's. THe beefier look, now my question is; This time around, should I get 195.45.15's or stick with the bigger sidewall? Do the lower profile tires look better on 15's?

stay beefy, i dont think the diff between 50 and 45 is that bad on 15's. If the rims were bigger I might change my vote, but on 15's 50 looks fine and rides much softer.
