Larger wheels?
My Versa 5 speed runs at high rpms and feels geared way too low and I would like to upsize the wheels to reduce this by about 10%.
Current tires are 185/65R14
I would like to move to a 15" wheel. To get a 8% increase in circumference, I would need a tire of something like 205/65R15. I am not 100% sure that the larger tires will fit in the wheel wells but the wheelwells seem to be much larger than the current tires.
This would be a wider tire, heavier wheel and the car would be about an inch higher off the ground.
Do you think the lower rpms would offset the negatives of the bigger wheels?
