tire question

[94s-noma]

ok, first off, im not sure i put this in the right place, if not, i apologize. if i did, i knew that . anywhoo, right now im running 205-75-15's.

ive been doing some roof work on this ladys house, long story short, she gave me all the stuff in her husbands garage *he passed away*

in there were 4 brand new, still with the stickers on them 205/55-15 kuhmo ecsta tires. so my question is, how much will it drop my truck putting these tires on? has anyone ever ridden on this size tires? how was the ride?

i had 205-55-16s on my 96 z24, and i loved the way they rode. i wanna know some opinions before i have them put on, and hate it, when i could sell them and make a nice profit for brand new tires . thanks, In advance, Dan.

without a 5" drop or more, those tires will look like shit. ride, bit firmer, but if thats what you like (usually a better 'feel' for the road) itll be good

check how old the tires are tho. they may be dry rotted too.

and there is a 'wheels and brakes' section. there is a sticky up top with a link to a tire size calculator which will tell you how much you will drop

thanks guys, ill drop about 1.5 inches with these tires, and the tires are only about 4 months - 5 months old, they look perfect, i was pushing on them and flexing them, no signs of cracking. i think im gonna measure the height of my exaust and x member and u bolts and axle, then see if i can clear. and if i can put em on. thanks again guys

They are also gonna cause your RPMs to be higher than they should be in any given gear. Personally, I'd sell them and give the lady the $$. If she refuses then use the $$ for the right size tires.

Will add more miles to the odometer to.
