Spring is here and I'm almost ready!!! I've been trying to find the narrowest front tires to fit a 5.5 x 15" rim without going to skinnies. Does anyone know of a tire manufacturer making a 185/75R15 tire, or close to it. I'm trying to keep the circumfrence around 26" so I don't lose the ride height.

I dont know what you have for a car but the rated load on those tires is not going to be very high.

Try a 205/70R15, it has a diameter of 26.3" a 5.3" treadwidth, and a 8.2" crosssection. This will fit comfortably on a 5.5" rim. If you have any other questions, you can call me at 888-922-1642
