Ok heres the deal i bought my car from a dealer used and already lowered.i didnt realize that it had 2 different tire sizes on it till later.185/65/14 and 195/60/14.so i had them rotated to the 190 s in the back and the 185s in the front and i have noticed that my car has about a 1 inch ride height difference in the back than the front..... I have measured my fender gaps and fender to ground heights adn also measured th etires and the 190s are 1 inch wider if you will than the 185s and my ride height difference is 1 inch .so my question is if i get 185s on all 4 corners of the car will my back come down that 1 inch and level out..........thanks

The difference between the tire diameters assuming they are equally worn is only .2 inches. The 195-60-14's are 23.2 and 185/65-14's are 23.5 inches.

So if you switch to 185/65-14's all around it will help but you'll still have .7" more fender gap in the back.
