Tire and wheel size

beck · 05-12-2007, 02:36 AM

I purchaed 2000 spider last June (2006) and it is time to put new tires and I just found out all four wheel have same size tires(205/50R15).
According to owners manual front should be 185/55R15. I am wondering orginal front wheel can fitted with 205/50R15 and if previous owner replaced front wheel with same size as rearwheel then how it is going to affect front suspention.

you can look at the back of the wheels to see what the wheel sizes are. the og owner likely just replaced all 4 tires with the same size. that is a common error.

in theory, you have more oversteer running the same size tire on all 4 corners as opposed to wider in the back.
