Tire and rim sizing
|
11-15-2010, 04:30 AM
I have a 2007 zx5 and it has 16" factory rims with 205/50/16 tires, I have a set of 14" steel rims with 185/65/14 snow tires,
My question is will it make much of a differance in the performance and drive quality with the differents rim size?

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
the only difference the rims would make is due to their weight... that's about it. also on that size of tire, the speedo will be off by a few km/h. @ 56km/h it reads about 60km/h.

I'm pretty sure 14's won't fit on your 2007
15's only from 2005+ because of bigger brakes on the front

Ditto. 15's+ for 2005 and up. 14's will only work on 1st gen, 00 thru 04's.
