i rkn go with the 185/60, the lower the profile the better it looks. mate has 14x8 and his got 185/60 looks tufff good amount of stretch and doesnt rub...well it does with a full car load. all his done is rolled his guard and has help from the pan hard rod

There's no such thing as a 185/60/15, well they're not a size you can get easily in Australia..

185/55/15s may be the sizes you're after. I've got a pair of Hankook 185/55/15s on an 8 here if you're interested in 'stretch' pics.

Really.. I used to have those tyres in 185/55/15s (on 7.5" as well) and your 195s seem to give more stretch! haha

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/9/8/2610.jpg

The 185/55/15s are 8.5mm (4.25 each side of tyre) in total larger in rolling diameter, but I highly doubt that'll make a difference when the 195s are 10mm (5mm each side) wider..

but seriously, there are so many of these threads lately.
like atleast 1 a week.

and im pretty sure there is a thread on here somewhere that suggests what tyre to run on what size rim.

LMAO!!!

And Adam, i think the more stretch may have something to with me just being awesome:hehe:, nah i reckon its cause of the 50 profile, instead of your 55. a thought maybe?

even if you did mistake the whole 14/15 thing, its still not a lower profile what your saying

well i compared a 185/60 and 187/70 on a 8" the 60 looked alot better....you could clearly see the stretch....the 70 jst looked stupid so im assuming the lower the profile the better it looks/fits under the guard.

fitted the 70s on the front of a ke70, it hit the guard on stock springs assuming his gona b running something low but the 60s didnt...so yea im not sure where this is leading but yes... :S

Will fit fine with a 195/50 but you will need to get a mallet and bash out the factory crease on the tip of the guard curve.

So basically the guard curve runs the whole way to the lip the whole way round instead of having a crease in it like factory.
