What size tires should I put on 14" rims for my 94 geo metro?

If you want to go stock size, something like 185/65R14 is close to the same size.

No one answer to that, you might as well ask "what beer is the best?" Actually, I think that thread is going on too.

Depends upon what you're trying to do. If you want cheap, leave the 12" wheels on there and buy the maypops they make in the stock size. If you want gas mileage on the highway, get skinny, tall tires, 165/65-14 would be nice. You'll gain mileage but loose acceleration. If you want better handling, get 185/60-14, you car will handle better and look better, your mileage may go up a little, you'll still loose acceleration. It's going to be hard to find tires for 14" rims the same diameter as your 12" stock spec.

Close. Black geo and 15's in the back! Too bad that site won't come up on my iPad. Looks neat.

The Wife was laid off in June. She returned all the stuff the boss wanted. He let her keep the Apple G4, it's old and, well, an Apple. My brother-in-law installed Linux on it so it did not require up to 4 simultaneous key strokes to do one command :smackface It's better but it still won't open the Flynn's Web site to do those graphics. She's got a nice used P4, 3.2Ghz, 2GB, 120GB, CD-RW PC coming maybe Monday. :D

Now we need real pics of the nice wheels some day, ld1985. :banana
