Wheels and sizes

[383_GrandPrix]

does anyone know if this means i have 14" wheels?

It only tells you that the car originally came with 14" rims. Look at what is stamped on the tire, that will tell you what you have.

When reading tire sizes; the first 3 digits tell you your section width, the next 2 digits are your side wall profile, the las 2 digits are the rim diameter. So a 195/75/14 tire is 195mm wide, with a side wall profile of 75, and a rim size of 14".

I don't get Youtube at the office, but if that is the "Engineering Explained" kid - LOL. I'll pass on his advice - he has no real practical experience. Just lots of conjecture and an educated opinion like most engineers.

No its some drifter guy that actually goes to the formula drift events and knows just about all of the drivers
