Thinking I want a bit more rubber under my 83 LE when I put it back together. Of course I am going to stick with the 14" LE wheels. Stock size is 195/60-14. I am thinking of going to a 205/60-14 on the rear...but will that size fit the front with no rubbing?

 

with that aspect youll gain 1.2cm in sidewall that way plus the 1cm extra width use a straight edge to see where the tire will be relitive to the wheel well. then take two pieces of 0.5'' thick material and add that behind the strait edge then see where it ends up. but my estimate is you should be just fine on the 205's 215+ is where it gets tough i think.

 

205 is fine

 

GSL-SE used 205/60/14's on the same size wheels, so its actually a factory fit

 

SOunds like thats what i am gonna do.....thanks!

 

Here's a riken 14x7 with 205/60. Both FB and SA have tokico blues, and uncut TMC springs and sway bars. Should help ya decide


same rim/tire on a SA

 

I've got Sumitomo 205s on stock + rims front and back, running Racing Beat springs and KYB shocks (so a little under 1" drop from stock). I've never had any problems with tires rubbing, never had to roll my fenders or anything. They'll work fine for you. I even did a season of autocross with them on!
