Ive seen this come up a few times in other places. Since its gone off the wen I will share it here Tire Tech: What most people don't realize is that any size rim will fit under a Justy's stock fender well up to 23x8." The problem is tires, they don't make 'crazy' sized tires and wheel offsets to support these kinds of configurations. Many wheel/tire packages may require trimming if too tall and/or rolling of the fenders if too wide to prevent scrubbing of the fender wells. Most any 12-14" will fit properly, the problem is 12" tires are almost non-existent, and some 13" tires are hard to find. 14" is honestly ideal and tires are easy to find, but rim choices are limited to other OEM swaps, such as a Honda Civic or Ford Escort wheel. (Note: The 91-95 Escort 14" 8spoke alloy is a nice wheel, and what I used on my personal Justy for many many miles)! 15" require readily available low profile tires. 16" require harder to find low profile tires while the correct 17" has just one size available and will scrub. We recommend a 14" or 15" swap... the 16" rides a little bumpy and the 17" is insane and will affect ride quality and braking. Correct tire sizes are listed below along with other available sizes that will work. All sizes listed below will fit under a stock wheel well, but some may scrub a little when turning or going over a rough bump. Some are be a hair too short or too tall and may affect your speedometer reading up to 2mph. This is perfectly drivable, but be warned! Be sure to measure and measure again to make certain the tire you want to use will fit especially if your car has been modified or is lowered! 12" - 145/80R12 is correct size. Stock wheel. 13" - 165/65R13 is correct size. Stock wheel. 14" - 175/65R14 is recommended size. (What I Used). 15" - 195/50R15 is recommended size. 16" - 195/45R16 is only size readily available. 17" - 205/40R17 is only size available, period. Rim Size Metric Tire Size Height in Inches Width in Inches

Any news on when the site will be back up, if ever? I was lucky enough to buy parts to rebuild my engine right before it went down. But more parts will be needed and are even harder to find now.

15" 195/45R15 (don't use)! 19.9 7.7 can someone explain me why this size is not recommended? it should be closest to stock in hight compared with other 15" dimensions.

Actually 185/45R15 is a closest match to original.. that's only 0.6% larger than stock 165/65R13.. 195/45R15 is 2.2% larger than stock.. I've tried 195/55 and it won't fit on the rear so 195/45 must be a *very* tight fit..

yes but I'm not sure that dimension exists and even if it does it will be impossible to find it.
and in post above they recommend 195/50R15 and 195/55R15 but say not to use 195/45R15. I can't figure out why. Anyway I'm getting 15x6.5 wheels soon and I think I'm going to risk with 195/45R15. I'm more worried about width of wheels than tyre size.
Can you give me more info about wheels you used for 195/55 ? like width and offset, did you have problem with rim rubbing on suspension components or something like that or just with tyre.
I'm wondering if 15x7 can fit under fenders without poking out. Maybe with offset between 35 and 40?

You can find 185/45R15 or similar enough in Toyo, there are budget options like Nankang or Ling Long (Wich are Yokohama). I've been using Ling Long for a while and they are pretty good.. And if i could get them here i'm sure you can too.. I'm not really sure about the offset for they were OEM wheels that came with 195/55 R15.. those simply won't fit because the overall diameter is larger than the rear wheel arches.. My set of 185/45 R15's are mounted on 6,5's and they do scrub the fender a little when hitting a speedbump or if someone else is with me on the car.. however i never measured the offset.. Again, 195/45 is gonna be uncomfortably tight if not rubbing all the time.. test them before committing..

Everything is stock.. and they do poke a little.. maybe 1 inch. What i've tried to say was that it rubs when there's a sudden elevation change.. imagine you are descending and there's a sudden uphill.. there it rubs a little.. I do have photos but can't remember how to post them here.. there are some on the Facebook group, I'm as Rodrigo Martinelli

Only available tires from a good brand in my country are 195/45/15 so I'm going to try it. If they scrape I'll just sell them.
