    The more negative the wheel offset is, the further the rim edge will sit away from the hub, so further out. A more postive offset will make the wheel sit further 'in' the guard. tyre clearance should only be a problem on the inside chassis rail if the rims are very positive, in your case they arent so your only concern will be rubbing on the outer guard.

    well i took the wheels in today to ahve the tyres fitted, jsut used some 175/70/13's and some 185/70/13's that i had here, they will do me fine

    195's and 205's arnt really avaliable in 13" these days, best ya can get is a set of yokohama advans and they wear out to quick, the fella seemed a bit hesitant to put the 175's on the 8's, will see how he went tonight anyway, he said he could do it with a tube in them

    tube=gay, but good for keeping mass strech on.

    205's are still availbe in 13's

    i had some 13x7 superlights with 205's on and they stuck out of my unflared front guards.

    just remember you can alway flare your guards bigger if need to, but you cant move your chassis rails too easy

    noob question, i read up on tire sizes and shit, but still unsure of some shit!

    im running 14x7s all round on my ke70 and in the process of looking for tires, i want something that isn't a really low profile but still has some stretch. because when i dump the keto i dont want the rim to look heaps tiny inside the wheel arch, if that makes sense

    Alrighty,
    What size profile would be best on a 15x8 rim on a AE86 without any guard modifications?
    I ask as I dont know what difference there would be between a 195/50 and a 195/55, do these affect the accuracy of the speedo, or the handling characteristics?
    Cheers again
