Title: Re:70 series tires Post by: FieroBUZZ on September 19, 2002, 06:47:41 am The 60 or 70 refers to the sidewall. A 70 series tire will be taller than an equivalent 60 series. Most guys try to keep the overall tire size the same so as not to ruin instrument readings. Therefore going to a 17 inch rim usually means going to a 40 series tire. (more rim less tire).
I don't think from stock 14's you'll get any significant lowering from tire alone. Options are pretty much suspension changes. cut springs lowered springs coilovers dropped spindles/coilovers |
