Can I run a wider tire on the stock wheels? Maybe like a 205/45?

I really like the stock wheels but I feel like the narrow tires compromise the ride a little.

 

i was looking at something similar as well. My suspicion is you could definitely bump up to says a 195 which looks to open up a world of better tire choices over 185s. I've done that on our old mini bumping up from 195 to 205 without issue.

 

stock width is 6" so a 195 for sure and I think a 205 would be okay as well. 185 is actually as wide as you'll want to go with the stock 6"

 

this doesn't really make sense...

you say 195 is ok on a 6" yet then you say 185 is as wide as you'll want to go on a 6"

 

I meant that 185 is as narrow as you can go with the 6" rim

 

just purchased a set of falken pro g4's for the stock wheels. i went up in width, to the high end of what the rim can handle, 205/50-16. will have them mounted in a few days.


i did the same thing on my previous commuter, and it worked out very well. expecting the same results with the fit.

 

^205/50 is good as it is close to stock rolling diameter. Nice looking tires.

Depends on the tire. Look at the tire spec to determine the range of rim width that a particular size will work with. Some tires may be able to go up to 205 on a 6" rim while others can not.
