Stock ...OE ...Insight 16" . but could not find the width size sad.gif

Ori 185/55/16 ...thought of changing to 205/55/16

From 185/55/R16, 205/55 cannot use. More then 3%. 3.46 to be exact.
However 205/50/R16 can, but I think the rims cannot fit, because with 185 rims should be quite narrow.
Brother, with the Honda Insight, it suppose to be a fuel efficient car that is why it is fitted with narrow tyres.
Changing to wider tyres may affect some FC. Changing them out of specs, like 205/55/R16 with diameter bigger than 3% will really affect it's power and FC.....

ya i know ..But I dont mind slightly exceeded of 0.46% smile_tongue.gif

195/55/16 oso odd.. 205/55/16 more choices and cheaper i think. So far ok with the FC and low-mid torque.... braking are not bad to my surprised .. Caliper still nisin but seems they hv changed the quality of pad.. More dust and better bite now. Rotor oso condition better than last time... shining and not too many scratches line. tht's why come out this idea of 205 instead of 195 smile_tongue.gif wht do u think

CRZ stock shd be 195/55/16.. smile_approve.gif

I am afraid your wheel arch may not be big enough also and what about turning circle?
If can get through these, you can try, but what is the rims width?

bro.. I dunno the width size... Tht's why trying to find out.

I know 195 can fit but 205 shd be more economical and choices. 185 on this 16" are not so stable on cornering and high speed >170.. so thin

after some conversation with VR... decided to finish the front first then only decide.. Maybe as he said, the 195/55 might be cheaper 1 year down the road..

If not then only try to fit the 205..

195/50/R16 also very little choice..... smile_blackeye.gif
OE rims all very narrow for fuel efficiency, but my colleague did say this. What is a few less kilometers in return for safety... smile_tongue.gif
