- Sun Aug 31, 2008 12:55 am #67804 How big of a difference does it make having 13's and going to 15's? What difference as ride, maybe speed, or anything else?

- Sun Aug 31, 2008 2:36 am #67812 As long as your overall tyre diameter stay the same, there should be not much different. Anyhow, since your tyre profile w/ 15" rims is thinner, ride comfort must be sacrified a bit.

One sure thing, the car will look much better!

- Sun Aug 31, 2008 1:43 pm #67831 Your speedo will be a bit off, it will say you are going 60 when you're really going 62 or 63, but not a huge deal.

use this site to calculate your needed tire size

- Sun Aug 31, 2008 4:52 pm #67841 Ya that site didn't work for me lol. But I'm going to be getting 205/50r15. how will it sacrifice my riding comfort?

- Wed Sep 03, 2008 2:59 am #68160 with that tire size your speedo will be slightly slower. It will show 60 when your doing 62 or so.

You will feel a bit more of the road with the small sidewall, but nothing really noticable. If you are already lowered then you shouldnt really feel any difference. I didnt feel a difference going from 14s to 15s. Yet its not as drastic a change as you doing. If you want your speedo to read as acturate as possible, you will want to get 195/50R15 tires.
