15" vs 16"
I have 15" rota slipstreams w/ 195/55 and someone is willing to trade me for 16" slipstreams with 205/45. I go to the track sometimes and in the future im going to want to get into autox a little. I'm just wondering if the 16's will slow me down at the track and how my everyday driving will be with a smaller profile tire like a 205/45 or the pros and cons to going with a bigger rim. Thanks

yes i should trade or yes it will slow me down since its a larger rim. i figured since the profile of the tire is smaller it would sort of equal out the size of the 15" rim with 195/55's

My short answer was to whether it would slow you down.

h:Didn't catch the autox part of it all...so yeah for autox it would be a fair trade off I guess...for drag it would be a compromise.
