bigbodylexus Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) You couldn't tell the difference in the drop by going from a 65 series to a 50 series, what's going to make that determination is the overall height of the tire (i.e. 225/65/15 going to a 205/65/15) going from a 65 series to a 50 series decrease the amount of the sidewall that you have which also makes the ride a little rougher. I ride on 225/40/18's and I might have to go to a 215/40/18 Edited July 10, 2009 by bigbodylexus Quote 1990 Chevy Suburban (Big Booty Judy) (4) Sundown Audio Zv5 18's (1) Sundown Audio Salt 12K (1) Sundown Audio SAX-100.4 (1) Sundown Audio SAE-50.4 (2) Crossfire ST-1 Tweeters (2) Obsidian Audio ST-1 tweeters (4) Sundown Audio Neo Pro v3 6.5's Saving 2nd Bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNKYOU007 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Share Posted July 10, 2009 correct me if i am wrong but going from a 65 to a 50, means that the 50 series tire will be 15% shorter than the 65 series assuming that the width is the same on both. but the car should sit lower to the ground but you will increase the wheel gap to the fender.
