14x6 tyre size for a mk1

[static1800]

Trying to sort out some tyres, some of you wheel whores should be able to help me out

195x60 seems the most common and easiest to get but they will look a bit to balloonish I think. The guy at one of the local tyre shops is trying to track down some 195x55's which he thinks will be the best option.

I don't want to go to far out from the original rolling diameter and stuff the 55's will put it a little undersize from the original.

I'm more of a function over form person so don't want to put 155's on them as i like having fun around corners

Any of you guys got some experience? are the 155's the better option?

Scratch that, they can't get 195/55 but can do a 185/60

185/60/14 is a standard size for a 14x6 rim.

Yep, 185/60/14 for sure

195/60/14 will scrub inside the rear arches and on full lock up front.

(That's on MK2 steelies)
