pimpdriver is right if you are going from 185/60x14 to a 15" rim you need 195/50x15, the 60 or 50 is the size of side wall of the tyre which is 60% or 50% of the width of the tyre

I am also sorry Micky. I just didn't want the guy to go and buy the wron Tyres.
185/60R14 is golf gti size and a popular upgrade is 15" rims with 195/50R15. |

I'm using 205/50/15 on my R8's, but then the standard tyre size on the Cq is 195/60/14 so this is the closest match for mine. Have a tyre size calculator here on Excel..

Difference in Diameter = 1.02% Actual diameter change = 6mm If you went for 195/50/15 series tyre then you would be 2.37% out and have 14mm smaller diameter.
