wut is the best tyre size for myvi??

[6UE5t]

Hi all, I am currently on 195/55/R15 (rim is 6.5jj width and 37mm offset, using Eibach Pro-Kit springs on stock absorbers which I get about 3 fingers gap for the rear. When there's no load behind then it is fine but if I carry just 1 person behind also I tend to hear some sort of sound from the rear when the road is uneven or very rough.

I know 195/55/R15 isn't exactly the ideal size but I like it for its balance of performance and comfort and also it fills up the fender area nicely.

What are the possible solutions for this apart from changing back to 195/50?

Are your tires/rims sticking out of the fenders? You can post a photo here so it's clearer how it looks before we can suggest anything.

Other than using 195/50, you need to harden the suspension. If that cannot be done then you need to use inner offset rims like offset 42. Another option is to check where the scrubbing is? If fender is scrubbing maybe rolling the fender might help...

Whats your current spring rate? I guess perhaps the cheapest solution is adding spring bush but that doesnt confirm will solve the problem as well. The best solution is go back to 195/50

Do you mean spring buffers? Or to install a customer absorber mounting so it's taller? Don't do spring buffers with such expensive Eibach springs.

His idea was to lower, now ask him make higher, not stable dy....

Well if his rims are already sticking out of the fenders due to not enough offset then the proper solution is change the rims! All the others are work around which are not the right solution.

Offset in can custom spacer out. Rim offset out need to change dy, will be expensive.
Offset 37 is a bit out because friend have similar problem with offset 35, and that is 2mm difference only. Offset 40 and 42 should be much safer

Yes can be expensive but that's the price to pay for choosing the wrong rims in the first place. That's why I keep telling people if want to buy rims, must first try it on the car with the tires so you can see how it will exactly fit.

After reading several comments, I guess 195/50/R15 will be the best and easiest solution, just that it won't look too good as the tires are smaller than the stock 175/65/R14. Don't want to change my rims since I still like my Assetto Gara. :D

Yup, cheapest option but now the finger space will be more.....

Change spring to stock, or roll the fenders. Check rear fenders to see if you are hitting fenders. If its not the fenders you are hitting the bump stop. Either trim the bump stop or add some rubber spaces to the spring.
