i know 205/60/15 doesn't. anyone know if 195/60 work?

I have 195/60 14's on my Nx, i dont see why the 195/60 15's wont work for you.....

Tire Size, Overall Diameter, Overall Radius

185/60-14, 22.740", 11.370"
195/60-14, 23.213", 11.607"
195/60-15, 24.213", 12.107"
205/60-15, 24.685", 12.343"


I think that 185/60-14 is the stock size? If you want 195/60-15s, you're looking at an increase of 3/4" in overall radius.

What you probably need to look out for is tire clearance at the lower spring perch - I have 185/60-14s on and I had a look - it seems like you could probably go another 1 or 1.25" in overall radius before the tire gets too close to the strut. That's with a 185. With a 195, there's another cm of width to contend with - the bottom of the perch is like an inverted cone shape - so a wider tire won't get away with as much of an increase.

I'm currently using 205/50/15s with Eibach Pro Kit springs and Tocrapo struts on my NX, and I don't have any clearance issues.

215-45-15 recreates the stock rolling diameter almost perfectly.

You'll need +35 offset rims, 7" wide though.

Oh, and the stock original tires on the NX2000 were 195-55-14. An odd sized tire, and hard to find.

Most people replaced them with 195-60-14 and dealt with a bit of inaccuracy.

That's what I did initially, before I got the wider summer rims and tires I use now.

spnx, are you sure that that is the factory tire size? i thought it was 195/60/14?

im concerned about the clearance issue. im runnin 205/50/15 now but i tried 205/60 for snow and it won't clear.
i wanna buy 195/60 for regular driving instead of wearing out the toyo T1 and there's a guy selling used RE92 at a good price
this would clear right?

195/60/14 and 185/60 or 185/65 will fit on ur stock NX wheels without throwing off the speedometer a whole lot. These tire sizes are also widely available and standard size on many cars.

Factory tire size for the NX2000 is 195/55R-14. Check the label on your driver's side door (might be on front of quarter panel).

Yup. RollcageSR20 is absolutely right as well as spnx. 195-55-14 and they were z-rated straight from the factory if I am not mistaken. Dunlop D40-M2's I think????

I had 195-50-15's on my NX2000 and that was perfect. Ride was somewhat harsh when it was lowered though and I ran z-rated as well.

I put the stock rims and 195-60-14's on when I sold the car. Was fine.

it was 195/55/14, choice of dunlop, or RE-71
sp8000 is the only tire that comes inthat size now if im not mistaken

anyways, so 195/60./14 works
195/50/15 works
205/50/15 works
back to my original question
195/60/15...anyone?
i know it's not much diff, but *** wanna make sure, dun wanna buy tires i can't use.

Toyo Proxes T1-S also comes in 195/55R-14. Will be the next set of tires for my NX once my beloved RE-71's go bye-bye. :(

I would not go that size. Unfortunately, I can't prove this, but it will make a big difference to how they look on the car. That will be a lot of rubber showing.

Go look at a stock Accord around a '95-'96. 195-60-15 is stock for the 15" Honda factory rims. They look kinda big on the rim.

Think of it this way. NX factory is 55 series 14" rims. You are gonna not only increase your rims diameter with 15", but also the tires height with 60 series tires. The profile just won't look right on the NX2000. Especially if you have it lowered.

Just my opinion.

I cast my vote again for 215-45-15. They look awesome, and I think it's the widest tire possible to fit without rolling the fenders.

okies, that's all i needed. no buy it is
thanx for all da input guys

Hey guys, just be thankful you never had 185/70R-14 rolling stock on your NXs... makes for a very undertired little car. Peeling out of almost every turn while autoXing was fun though :D
