Front Tire Options 185/60R14

[RamblinDMC]

Hi, does anyone have 185/60R14s on the front? How's it look? I'm debating a 185 front and a 245 rear in Cooper Cobras or a 195 in BFG Touring front and a 245 in BFG Radial rear.
(I know the stock size is 235, but I'd like to go to 245 just because)

Thanks!

a 185 would work on the front, but look silly.

I am running 245 cooper cobras on the on the rear and I dont see myself ever going any smaller. Looks great, and lowers the rpms on the highway just a tad.

Alright, I think I'll go with the BFGs.

This is good to know. I'm torn as to whether at next tire change, to put wider tires on, or invest in larger rims that would allow wider tires and bigger brakes. Good to know that these fit without issue. :thumbup:

There was a member on here running 275/60r15s in the rear. They are huge! There is a lot of room assuming you dont lower the car.

I thought this would have been mentioned by now, but if you are still running your speedo off the angle drive on the LF wheel/tire,
you will probably want to stay with the correct tire diameter with a 195/60-14, since a 185/60-14 creates an inaccurate reading.

True. After all, the Delorean speedometer is the pinnacle of accuracy ;)

lol, speedo accuracy would be the least of my worries!
