Can I put 185's on a 4 1/2" rim? Just > wondering. The 4.5" rims are at the lower limit of acceptable for 185sr15 tires, but they will fit. I've done it. Overall, however, they weren't a good idea because they just made the car taller and less stable. Something like a 185/ 70 or 185/75 would restore the original ride height and would be better. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
