I don't know about the tire width but if you put 14 inch wheels on an mx-3, you'll need 2??/65R/14 tire<P>------------------<BR>Brainless<BR>93 red RS

I just bought some 205/40-17. They fit fine. Why would you want 14's? If you are lowering it into a low-rider - that is STUPID!

<B>WHY??</B><P>I have the stock 14" rims on the car and the 185/65R14 tires look like shopping cart wheels. I'm not interesting in putting rims or dropping the suspension or any of that gay stuff... I just wanted tires that were a bit wider without having to pony up for new rims. 195/60R14 didn't seem wide enough and very few manufacturers make 205/60R14. The next size up was 215/60R14... but I've discovered that's too big (from just eyeballing the uninflated tire). <P>Thanks anyways guys...<P>------------------<BR><B><A HREF="http://www.mp3.com/nealpinto" TARGET=_blank>¡¡LISTEN TO MY MUSIC!!</A></B>
