Will 175/65R15 (stock 4x4) tyres fit regular FWD Panda? Stock sizes are 175/65R14 and 185/55R15.

I really would like to have a little more ground clearance. Panda 4x4 and FWD looks exactly same so I thought there would be room for 4x4 tyres in regular Panda?

The increase in wheel diameter from 175/65r14 to r15 is 26mm, so only 13mm increase in ride height. But the 4x4 sits 50mm higher off the road to 2WD Pandas, so the springs must be more than 20mm longer?

H&R have 50mm lowering springs for 4x4 Panda's, and 30mm lowering springs for normal fwd Panda's.
So, the difference should be ± 20mm.

You can also use 185/60R15" tires, are more or less the same size as 175/65R15".
