It's only a few millimeter sidewall difference but will it make that much of a difference? I'm asking cause I got a free set from a friend of mine.

Help would be well....helpful lol

Thanks

The only difference will be your speedo will read a little slower then you are going, since the tires are taller then what you have on there.

But since the s13's speedo isn't really all that well calibrated there wont be much of a difference. Id recommend finding a friend with a GPS and checking your actual speed.

Cool beans boss man.

Kinda figured the speedo being slower. As long as there isn't anything else, they're getting mounted and balanced tomorrow. Then it's time to get rid of some negative camber cause I need more even tire wear then I have now as it's my daily.
