Chevrolet - Down sizing rims


Expert: Roger J.M. Warrington - 10/3/2006

Question
Hi Roger,

I have a 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier Sdn LS with 195/65/15 wheels  - Was told by a "dearler" I can go down one size to a 14 for winter rims.

My Driving is mainly city and freeway.


He said I could could go down (Minus 1)for either a 195/70/14 or 195/75/14 or maybe a
205/70/14 ? wheels.


What do you advise? or recommend?

Thanks
John


Answer
JOHN;
  Hi , well as far as the rim size , I would not change it, it was built and set up for the size you have ,if you change it, chances are it will throw off the computer and the rear end settings too. I would stay at the size rim. thats on it- you can go a bit  +/- on the tires if you wanted to.But it is up to you. ok
Roger
