TYRE SIZES

[Konakid]

There is no way that rim should have bigger than a 205 on it.

[RobertoX]

if you dont like stretch get skinnier rims

265s are the gayest monstrosities ever!

put the 17s back on..........

or take the centre caps out at least!

[Konakid]

No.


Not insured

Tell this to the Japs who have been doing it for years. Fit your own tyres. There is usually a gentlemens agreement with tyre shops and stretching.

If you want a legal, insurable car, buy a stock Barina.......

Not For Show....so your running 10 inch rims on a 265s rear?? you dont have any issue's or what so ever(your car are AE86 rite?)......some people say even 225's on the rear(ae86) could have some issue's already unless you jacked up like a 4WD....im just wondering what/how you make 265s work on your rear??

and have you ever try semi's(225-265s)?? how you when on them??

[Konakid]

But 265's are for show because 205 would be PLENTY of grip for even the most hard tuned N/A 4age....

I love this, haha 4 seconds a lap, what'd you figure out you've got 4 more gears?! You cut the inner guards out hey?! How'd you mount a shock in the rear then? Please tell me you did have a shock in there, or are things like that "for show"?

[Konakid]

This has gone on long enough. Ill end with this.

How many people do you see running 265's on Sprinters?

[Konakid]

Updated for Chapl to clear things up.

14"

up to 9J = 185/60

over 9J = 195/50


15"

up to 9.5J = 195/50 or 195/45

over 9.5J = 205/50 or 205/45

I feel this better represents the more readily available tyres both new and second hand.

I'm sure many will agree with the sizes, if you don't, then let me know.

[DavisJD]

4 seconds a lap on slicks over street tyres is more than doable.


I say go for the 265's, if they dont work so well, change them. Nothing wrong with trying things out.
