Not a reno but need help with tyre/rim sizes

[u33db]

Hi folks,

been a while since i was on here...no renos anymore but am wondering if you can help me with the following;

Basically i've got a corsa c as a runabout atm and am wanting to sort some wider rubber but retain the standard wheels.

The wheels are 5.5J 14s currently rolling on 175/65/14 (std size) tyres.

I want to change them to 195/60/14.

Obviously the tyre is going to balloon out over the rim somewhat but will handling be ok?

I've tried the Corsa C forum but seems to be full of kiddies so hoping for a more educated response from you guys...

Your opinions appreciated! :)

guessing it'll feel vague and sloppy as the side walls slop about

why do you want to fit wider tyres?

Well its 175s that are on which are a bit thin for something the size of a corsa C IMO.

As luck would have it though i've found some astra mk4 16s in a scrappy so going to use them instead - 205 profile! :)

thanks for the reply though - much appreciated!
