No one makes my stock tire size anymore. 175/60R14. Now, I can either put the 185/65R14s from the Prizm on the Swift wheels, and be a whole 5mph off (and probably scrub as the overall diameter of the wheel + tire will be way too tall. Total cost: $0, but I’ll probably fuck shit up. Or I can put my 16"s and 205/40R16s on the Metro and it’ll look like a rollerskate, but the wheel + tire diameter will be damn near perfect. May scrub inside of tire on fender. Total cost: About $250, assuming the tires don’t wear away from rubbing on the inside. Or I can buy a set of 15" wheels AND tires, that will fit in every way, but it’ll cost me a shitload. WTF. ---

The 185/65/14 is less than a 20 mm difference in height so i don’t think it will be off as much as you think. stock was 185/60/14 right? 185\*.65= 120.25 mm/25.4=4.73 inches_2=9.47+14=23.47 total inches tall tire 185_.60=111 mm/25.4=4.37\*2=8.74+14=22.74 total inche tall which is less than 3/8 of an inch all around. I think it would be fine. Correct me if I am wrong anybody? ---

NTB, Pep Boys, and Sears all looked the Swift up and said they can’t get my stock size and that I should talk to the dealer. The tires that were on the Swift wheels were different sizes, and none of them was the stock size. ---

how about 185/60/14 its the same diameter but a little wider. youre gonna need it to put that 100hp to the ground. theres tons of brands available on that size.
