hoodilio Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 ok, so right now my 1993 cutlass has 215/60/16 tires on its stock wheels. I know that some of the w-bodies have 225/60/16 and why didn;t mine come with it stock. Also if i get new tires that are 225/60/16 will it effect anything like spedometer or handling. Anyone got any input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1uvakind Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 you can use this to figure out future tire sizes http://www.paspeedo.com/calculator.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoodilio Posted August 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 So will it be a bad idea to get the 225/60/16 tires, should i stick with the 215/60/16. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
