HI there, just a quick one, will 175/65/15 fit in the standard K11? my standard one is 165 60 14 and I saw some post said that certain size in 15 will not fit in micra (hit the wheel arch while turning) my micra is standard, not lower or anything. advice please?

Thanks

A 50 profile tyre on a 15 inch wheel is a maximum.
You may get away with 65 but I'd guarantee it'd rub on bumps and lock

use www.willtheyfit.com to work it out. 175/65R14 JUST fits, 185/65R14 will fit in the rear if you modify the bracket to hold the rear bumper on thats in the arch for clearance, but they look ridiculous...

How you going to fit a 15 inch tyre on a 14 inch wheel, or have I miss read something?

I am going to put a set of alloys on instead of the standard steel wheel.

That high a profile of tyre will rub and scuff

I'm -75, and with those tyre sizes even running over white lines was enough of a bump to make it scrape. Getting in that field was pure heroic on my part, tyres were dead when they eventually came off... massive rubbing!

 

[william_sr]

so you guys suggest only getting a 14 inch alloys to avoid the rubbing?

Thanks

15 is fine just a lower profile tyrr

15's are fine with 195/45R15's, as long as the offset isn't too wild
