OK, I hope I don't piss you guys off asking about tires again!:disappoin

I was looking at a 1995 Chevy Corsica (about the same size as a Corolla) and it was running 195/70 14's. It was parked next to my Corolla and I got to thinking that that size tire would look good.

It is quite a bit taller so I worry that it will rub. I am aware of the downsides to taller tires but after much study and thinking it seems that there is no way in the near future I will be able to lower my car and buy 16's.

I have 185/65's now and they look so tiny... The 195/60' are pretty much the same as what I have now... and I like a taller tire... I know I know this goes against normal convention...

How about 195/65/14's?

Thanks Justin... I just got the wheel covers yesterday from AutoZone for $29, made a real difference in appearance and will have to do for now...

Autozone had the covers with 4 lug and 5 lug, identical otherwise, so I figured I would be bold and go for the 5 lug... :lol:

Nice color.
This is mine!

My stock tires were 175/65-14 and then I upgraded to 195/60's and mounted them on some new aluminum rims I got from Tire Rack.
I think they look pretty good.
The reason why I used 195/60's is so my speedo would not be off by much.

If you use 195/70-14s, your speedo will definitely be off, but if it doesn't matter to you then I say go for it.

your speedo will be off.

Well after some checking I think the 195/70/14 will be to much tire... At this point I think the best size would be 195/65/14... I am aware of the speedo being off.

Any opinions or experience with the 195/65/14's?

Sweet car! I like those rims!
