Arrow Can i use 195/65/r15 on my 88 gxl ?

Im currently running 205/60/r15 on my 15 inch rims.. I need tires bad. And been shopping around. I forgot i had Brand new 195/65/r15 s On the benz that broke. And that got me thinkin..

I know the tire is slightly Taller. But is 195 in place of the 205's a big deal? And anyone running 195s on an rx7 thanks.. Need answer asap;

You can run those tires. The tires for an s4 base are 185/70/14.

It's not really probably going to look super sexy, but it will work until you can get new tires.


EDIT: Wait Are you talking about running the 195s on your 205 wheels?

Ok well i am now runnin 195-65-r15s WOW. well the ride is much smoother. the car wont get jolted as much. But still stiff suspention.. just a bit less responsive. however it could just be less feedback.. Not disapointed. But i wont be as brave hot roding through town.. Could be im not used to real tread... I like SLICKS.. ha
