hey guys new to scionlife, but was going buy 15" red rotas gt3. what size tires would be perfect fit for my scion xa 04. i was thinking 205/60/15?? i also have a 2 inch drop on tanabe springs.. because right now there on my friends car sitting on 205/50/15 and there is a big space in between the wheel well.. so think 205/60 would be better. what do you guys think?

 

Are they on the exact same car with the exact same suspension mods? if not then its not a correct comparison... but lets say that it is, best bet is to go with the Stock size, 195/65...

 

he drives a civic.. i really dont know anything bout tires, can u explain what the numbers mean?

 

its the stock tire size, 195/65/15, anything other than that will alter your speedo... mind you not by a whole but still, with the drop and those wheels you will do just fine

so what do you recommend putting on the 15 inch gt3 rotas?

 

Honestly, can you read?

 

its really 185/60/15

just look at the sidewall of your tires

 

You cannot look at your friends car (a Civic) and compare how the wheel gap will be on the xB. Two entirely different vehicles. You will be fine sticking to stock or close to it. With a 2" drop, you will have very little wheel gap with either the 185/60 or 195/60.

The stock size is 185/60-15, but a lot of people go with 195/60-15 because they are a decent amount cheaper and are only 2% off. When you're going 60, the speedo will read 61.2. A 205/50-15 would read 2.8% too fast - going 60, speedo would read 58.3
