185/65r15 88h will it work

 

[FlashBastd]

they will be too big, for a 185 tyre on a 15" wheel, you should have a 55 profile.

 

[puma89]

I will double check it
the wheel are already on the tyre. Its original a saab wheel.

Enter the two different sizes here, it'll show you the differences:

Here is the correct data.

5 1/2J x 15H2 E40

185/65R15 88H

can I use it on the car?

 

[FlashBastd]

NO!

Look at the difference in dimensions on the calculator above, furthermore as they appear to be ET40 offset, they will sit 6mm further inside the arches, and are even more likely to foul.

Why would you want to fit these wheels and tyres? It would make the car look like a tractor!

 

[puma89]

okay, I sure dont want a tractor.
Hehe. Sad they dont fit, the tires looks very cool but very big
Found them in the garage.

 

[puma89]

Spacer wont do the job?
Low profile deck?
Ok I give up

 

[FlashBastd]

They are physically too big. A spacer would help to compensate for the difference in offset, but then you loose the spigot ring in the middle of the hub so the wheels will only be supported by the studs, which is not good!

 

[puma89]

Okay I see, dont wanna fit them.Thanks
flashblastd,
I keep my new fitted summer deck on, look for some cooler felgs that will fit the car later on. Huge Thanks again for the help with cruise controll best fitt to the car so far.
