I have a set of 14" steelies from my 626 that I was going to put on . I know the bolt pattern is the same , but I wondered if anyone else had gone down to a 14" set up .

Why the 65 profile ?

Using the stock 16's with Pirelli Snowsport 210's in the stock size

Why the 65 profile ?

The 65 profile will bring it as close as possible to the original tire diameter, so that your speedometer and odometer are accurate.
