    Wheel Size Question does 65 cm vs. 60 cm matter?

    Hi,
    I have a chance to buy 4 tires at a great price, but the size is 14-65-195 and the specifications for my 1991 325i is 14-60-195. I think that effects the spedometer, but what about alignment or anything else? Should I worry about the size difference?
    Thanks!

    Wait...stock replacements? Why would you get the wrong size? Is it just price? If so, figure out how to buy better tires. The stock size is not very common anymore, so they are more expensive.

      the 60 and 65 are not centimeters. They're an aspect ratio - 60% of the section width, 65% of the section width, etc. a 225/60 is not the same sidewall as a 195/60.

      also, I think only earlier E30s came with 195/60-14. those are SMALL. 195/65 is no problem.

        Yeah...the correct size for your car is 195/65/14 anyways.
