14" rims and thinking about 185's on the rubber - can i get some feedback pls

And that 3% smaller is way better than 1% larger, i bet than 4% change in the torque is noticeable. see 195/60/r14's are 1% larger, id go for 195/55/r14
also 3% smaller helps out in braking as well to a smaller but probably noticeable degree

Ya the wider tires thing ive read 205's even - how do you even do it? You must have to put spacers in or get rid of the wheel wells or something. in my situation, the CAI filter is scrubbing the tires at about half-lock on the steering it gets pulled and then it thwangs back after the tire moves over it... have to refit the filter or maybe try a cone style to clear the wheel well plastic. or i could raise the car another inch. we set the drivers side an eighth of an inch higher to account for the driver, seems pretty great

the alignment was out by 1.25 degrees, thats fixed now. im posting the lowering session pictures, take a looksie when you get a chance

well i've done some more research and phone calls and whatnot.. if i were going for a street setup, and autocrossing, probably 16" rims and 195's, but because of the occasional dirt road use, i'm sticking with my original post. the rims dont have a 'winter' finish on them, i don't really know how big of a deal that is but i really like the look..
