^I never said a 205 wont fit on a 8inch wide or even 15 inch wide wheels, what I stated was a 195/45/15-16 tire WILL be taller then 205/40/15-16, which I was CORRECT, now having a fucking TALLER tire in the front is totally stupid, might as well run a 205 width tire FRONT AND REAR to keep the chassis balanced, and also so the front tire wont look differently stretched. So since you fucking know it all about "tires" and are a fucking LUBBIE, here are the mesurements for our S13 STOCK OEM tire size.
The CORRECT way to mesure a tires HEIGHT is NOT by just the sidewall height but of the OVERALL diameter!!
stock oem tire size of S13 BASE model: (SE/LE models are 205/60/15)
195/60/15 24.21inches
205/40/15 21.46inches
^thats very close to 3 damn inches just running this tire size will lower the vehicle almost 3 inches = more wheel gap. minus an inch if running 16s, YOU WILL be able to tell the difference with those two tire sizes!!
Now back to what you stated before about there is barely any difference between 195/45/15 to 205/40/15, you stated its only .2 of an inch taller? Think again, lets look at the numbers considering you only took the side wall size which is only "HALF" of the over-all height of the tire. The exact height difference of both tires is acctually .45 tenths of an inch rounded up to a half of an inch, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE!! Thank you come again.
P.S. Just becuase you mount tires all day in a shop dose not mean you know everything!!!
