So I had some dry rot going on BAD on my 850 front tires. My neighbors 960 went out on him. He is having the scrappers take it tomorrow so I just swapped out my wheels/tires for his because he is awesome. Tomorrow I may salvage some other parts but in any case, this is about the wheels and tires. Mine were 195/60/15 and his are 205/55/16. Definitely fills the gap better but I am just wondering if it is okay. I noticed one had the studs and mine had the stupid lug/stud combo. Everything went on okay but just was curious because if I have to swap back, I have to do it tomorrow sometime. I did it quick in the dark and rain so didn't tighten too much on mine so couldn't take for much of a test but didn't get any rubbing turning tight.

Also, any problems with speedo? Don't have to worry about my odometer because its an 850...not like the darn thing works anyways!

 

No problem. Many run them for years. I did it for a short while myself.

As for speed, simply check the speed on your GPS.

 

Thanks so much, I was hoping so after I was outside in the cold rain last night swapping them by hand with one jack...yeah that was fun! However my neighbor was awesome and while they aren't the best tires, I had 2 with dry rot down the center between the tread! So saved me a bunch of money and I get some more hella flush looking rims LOL hahahhaa on my 1000 DD. Gonna try to salvage his glove box if it is same also since mine stuck shut and I used the brute force method to open it . Wish he didn't smoke like a chimney or I'd get the headliner too!

Thanks again for the quick reply, now after this I get to do the struts, upper seats, passenger axle and not have to worry about my tires also :-)

 

You can get the roof liner. If it's clean, find someone with one of those ozone machines and it will remove all of the odor from it.
