Anyone here have this set up?? Using 205/50/15 specs on the stock GD3 wheels. I'm only asking because i have a set of tires on some other rims i have and im going back to stock wheels and i dont want to lose such great tires since they are new.

 

it will be fine stock tires are 195 55 15 the wider tire should be a boost in handling on stock wheels

 

yep i think ull be fine, these are the sizes u can run on stock rims 185/55-15, 195/50-15, 205/50-15, now since u got the last of the three offsets then ull be fine, actually ull be better than fine, i cant wait til my tires wear down so i can get a set of wider tires.

 

yea i've done that before, it will work.

 

yep see now u got proof

 

Sweet. I was just making sure if it would work or not. Its been awhile since i had stock wheels on and i didnt feel like buying new tires for rims if i have a set of tires already

EDIT:

Thanks for the help guys

 

no problem, this is why its good to keep ur stockers

 

I've put 205/50/15's on mine, and it's really degraded my gas mileage. I was getting about 360-380 miles on a tank, and now i'm lucky to get 330. Kinda bummed about it.

Could this perceived decrease be partially due to the change in actual miles traveled/vs what my odometer is reading?

 

hahahaha same here but with my setup with the new wheels its not enough to want to change plus wat a difference in handling, i mean the car gets good gas mileage already so wat u lose a gallon every tank but ive learned to drive slower and only stomp on it when i need to.

 

It can be a trade off with wider tires. If you go wider tires get lgihter wheels. Stock tires go with heavier wheels. Try to always stick with the same weight as the stock tire/wheel combo.
