only mild mods....so i shouldnt go wider just in the rear.....they are yokohama yk240's....should i just stay with these than? i just found i could have gotten this tir in a 205 instead of 195........my stock wheel/tire combo is 185 blah blah, now they are getting a lil on the bald side, but they chirp switching to 2nd gear, will 195's fix that? Do the wheels look ugly on these tires being so huge? should i go lower profile

205/60R14 is what im running on my SE wheels and on my 83 limited edition mesh wheels. you might be able to get a 225/60R14. i ran some of those on my old nissan, but i have ran 225/50R15 on my old FB

there's a guy here in the forums that uses "loose head bolts". i guess the part of the head of the bolt that meets the rim hole swivels, and allows for the difference...i guess its only 1mm all around that's different
i used to run centerline look wheels that had an elongated hole, and they were 4x108, and worked fine, but when you are bolting the wheel up, you have to center it, or it will wobble.

I would stay with 195/60r14 all around. They match the height of your stock tires and are 1cm wider and keep with a h or vr rated tire. I run 205/60r14 on my SE with 14x6. I plan on getting some 215/60r14 for the back in the BFGoodrich street slicks just for some traction though.
