i sold my stockies to my bro who has a TR/TS 4cyl, but for some reason they look huge compared to the standard? 14" that were on there
does anyone know the standard tyres sizes for a 2nd gen? i thought 3rd gens had the same rolling diamiter?
185/65 R14 i beleive.......not sure bout the 15" stockies

on a GEN2
if it was fitted with 14" wheels, then 185/75-14 tyres were fitted as standard
If it was fitted with 15" wheels, then 205/65-15 tyres were fitted as standard

so i'm guessing rolling diamiter should be about the same? i don't know why these look so much bigger!

Maybe because the 2nd gens don't have that large wheel arch gap in the front!
Seriously, if I compare the 2nd and 3rd gen we have here and just by looking at the wheel arches, it looks as if the 2nd gen has been lowered (Which it has not).

I was told the same, but the 16" rims i got off a 3rd have tires on them that are roughly an inch bigger, resulting in my speedo being out by 5%,something is rubbing on the tyres wheni turn, so i only assume the wheels on a 3rd gen are bigger, unless the wheels i got have the worng rubber in the first place.

one could be more infalted than the other
another may have more tread than another
