I believe they are 185's. Depending on your motor. I think 185's are good enough depending on how u drive. With a N/A 4ag of any flavor 195 is more the go depending how grippy u like your tyres. 205 is probably the most u'd want to go ever. Wheres the fun in having a sprinter without losing the rear end. Its almost comical accidently having your rear end just slide out.

the correct tyre size for an ae86 with 13's is 185/70x13
if you go to 195's, you should in theory go to 195/65x13
if you go to 205's, you should in theory go to 205/60x13
this is to reduce the change in overall diameter of the tyre/wheel, so as not to alter the speedo reading too much.
for example, if you fitted a 185/60x13 tyre, your speedo would read higher than actual speed, as the wheel would do more revolutions than if you had 185/70x13's, but the car would still be doing the same speed.

So I'm guessing 195 60R14 would be the go for 14" 195s?
I couldn't bare the 185s on the front.. but 195s on the front and 175s on the rear would be a fun combonation.

I actually run a 195/55/R14 on the front and 195/60/R14 on the rear (Bridgestone Potenza's), i've been told that this will not change the speedo reading by T mart, so l hope they were not feeding me bs.  Oh, and by the way, they make for a really interesting combination in heavy rain at speeds of 110 and up.  Any one for some highway drifting?

I have 15s on my sprinter and using another car to guage it appears that my speedo is still perfectly accurate (we tested it at 50, 60 and 100).
