automotive tire size calculator
« on: May 26, 2019, 12:37:18 PM »
I have a Mini Cooper that rides like a rigid frame Harley.

While invesigating a cure, I ran on to a very valuable resource.

TIRESIZE.COM     Pretty cool stuff. You can  change the size of tires and wheels and visually see the result with all the data.

I am assuming you are talking about the BMW mini rather than the classic Mini.

Either way with regard to cars, just be careful you have enough calliper/ disc clearance with smaller wheels on a cooper. 15” might not give enough [ch128549]

Good thought, I will be measuring when I'm in there taking out the lowering springs
