185's or 195's for the Fox??

[myboxyfox]

I have a set of Le Cast's 14" to put on the Fox, but I'll need new tires....

I can't decide between 195 60 14's, or 185 60 14's.....I know they both fit, tho I think the 195's would fill the wheel wells a bit better/

.any advice?

Can you go with a lower profile? say 185/55/14

I've had both sizes on my teardrops and I think the 195's look better. You will probably need to do some minor fender rolling in the rear though....hard bumps will make it scrape. I rolled mine because I had 17's and now I no longer scrape with the 14's

I had 185 60 14's on Orlandos and they did look kinda wierd, and even they rubbed the inner fenders on the bigger bumps! So, I think I will go with the 195's and do some fender rolling. Since I do lots of highway driving, the slightly extra diameter won't hurt.

Anyone know what the stock tire size is for a 88 fox wagon

ya i got 17's on my fox right now, 205/40/r17 and the fronts fine, but gotta roll the back, or they rub majorly.

I run 195/60 R14 Michelin Pilot Exalto tires on 14" (of course) Orlando rims. Great wet weather tires for Florida. Very happy with them. On my second set. Had to roll my fenders - running Sport Springs.

I run 185/60/14 and the only issue I have is over big bumps they rub on my Fenders. I have seen people say they roll the fenders. I was wondering how u do that. Just made a 867 mi trip in the fox and I wanna save my tires on the way back lol.

There are many ways to roll the fenders, some more ghetto then others.....

just go onto youtube, and there'll be a whole bunch. You can go and buy (or possibly rent) actual fender rollers, or, you can use either a heat gun and an aluminum baseball bat or a length of ABS pipe.....
and I'll let youtube explain the rest.....
