Stock size of tires? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I bought the car used and it had 195/60/15 tires on it.  I used to own a 1989 SE and it had 205/60/15s on it.  What is the correct stock size?  Both cars have the alloy rims (if this makes a difference).  The reason I am asking is because I want to upgrade to 215s but do not want to change the speedometer too much.  TIA.

I believe baseline came with 195/60/15 while SE's came with 195/60/15's up front and 205/60/15's in the rear.

215/55/15's would be the right size.  Although 215 is a tad wide for the stock rims, it'll still work.

205/60/15 is what you want, its a little wider than stock and wont effect your speedo or revs.
