[mrnv200]

Hi
my firth post here, im converting a 2012 NV200 panel van into a crew cab/fishing wagon/ man cave. currently i have sound proofed, insulated and carpeted (most) of it
im replacing my standard steel wheels with alloys
current Tyre size is 175/70/14, I am replacing them with a 7x16inch alloy with 35mm offset
i have been quoted two tyre sizes which are 195/50/16 to 215/60/16
could anybody please advise which will be better
many thanks
phil

If you only had these options to choose from I suggest the 195/50/16 as it will be closest to OE specs, so your odo/speed will still be somewhat accurate.

215/60/16 will work too(assuming you have the right off set, they won't rub), but there are a few members here that use 205/55/16. Right now I have 205/55/16s on mine just to see how they'll look. Van looks better, but I also got a set of 215/50/17s coming in a few days. My 16s are off a Toyota so the off set is slightly high so they stick out. My 17s should fix it though.

They are a 35 offset
I've considered the 55 tyre profile as it only puts my speedo out marginal.... think it would be 2mph out at 60mph

Dam things in nissan at the moment with a hefty bill for water ingress to the ecu so the the wheels might be the only. Thing I have left soon

I like the 205-65-15 a lot of Co. make the tire they will last a lot longer than the OEM and they fill that gap from the wheel well to tire. look at the Continental, Pirelli,

205/65R15's are way too large of a diameter tire for the NV200.
They will greatly numerically reduce the effective gear ratio and drastically throw the speedo/odo readings.

Mine are only 1.5 to 2 miles per hour off that is it , the tires run nice and they are wearing great

Anyone know which sizes can be fitted to the 14" alloys that come with a UK NV200 (Tekna) ?
