You shouldn't use a torque wrench to break it loose, it'll just wind up killing the wrench. Use a breaker bar and put the lugs back ON with the wrench, 80 lb ft of torque. Air guns are the worst

Originally posted by rbm3 I am going through a similar problem...I bought some tires for my car and after I put them on I noticed they are 55mm sidewall and I have 60mm sidewall on the rear, but both 15" tires...will this be ok until I fix it?
2x tirewidth x sidewall ratio / 2540 + wheel size= overall diameter. eg.
2x235x45/2540+17=25.326
2x255x40/2540+17=25.03
as long as the over all tire diameter is within a couple tenths of an inch of the stock tire diameter you should be ok.

What's the width of the tires?... If you know the what the width of the tires are, than you can use this formula:
2x tirewidth x sidewall ratio / 2540 + wheel size= overall diameter. eg.
2x235x45/2540+17=25.326
2x255x40/2540+17=25.03
as long as the over all tire diameter is within a couple tenths of an inch of the stock tire diameter you should be ok
2x tirewidth x sidewall ratio / 2540 + wheel size= overall diameter. eg.
2x235x45/2540+17=25.326
2x255x40/2540+17=25.03
as long as the over all tire diameter is within a couple tenths of an inch of the stock tire diameter you should be ok
They are 195 55 R15 in front, and 195 60 R15 in the rear. What is the stock tire diameter? Would it be much of a difference for my Evo I?

rbm3 I don't know what the stock tire size is on an Evo l, but I'm assuming that it's one of the tires that you listed.
195 55 15= 23.44 in
195 60 15= 24.21 in
That gives you a difference of .77 in. Your still under one inch in over all diameter so you should be ok. But your gearing is going to be off. And I would try to get tires of the same size as soon as possible.
