no I don't like to talk about my 6inch rim

[DC]

well i decide to stay with my 5.75 rear rim for now. And I will be sticking on some super corsers for the spring/summer.

I have decided to give the old rims a new lease of life with a gloss black powder coat!!!

Roll on the spring and the summer dudes!!

not with a 190/55 you wont. it has a higher profile than a 180/55.

So what are you going to gain over the 5.5" rim with the 180 on?

[keefer]

maybe nothing but you don't want to be disadvantaged if you already have a 6

I think the 6 in with a 190 will give a bigger contact patch than a 5.5 in with a 180 - but with the same profile?

This is my understanding but I'm only regurgitating what I believe I heard.

Must admit I have'nt tried or even seen a 190/55 on the road, it would be intresting to see how it compaired.
