Original tyre size for 15 inch mags

Post by Guru »

I know that the 14" mags on the starion take 195/70R14 tyres (as per factory spec), but what is it for the 15" mags?

The tyre placard says 215/60/15 @ 30psi, however they look pretty retro, like balloons and it takes getting used to.. I used to have 205/55/15
Your speedo willbe out by 5k in your favour but will look and accelerate
much better...

215/50 would be better, 205 is a bit narrow for that rim width, but yeah, great for reducing lag ect. Similar result to fitting a 3.9 dif

you also have to consider the speedo error, you'd be doing 93Kph when when the speedo shows 100kph, not a bad thing though, save the potential speeding fine.. :D
