not enough info dumass :P

yes it will fit the rim fine, but if you are borderline for scrubbing on the guards/struts/everything then it might rub more.

do your current tyres rub on anything? what offset are your wheels?

195/50 would look pretty cool on an 8 inch rim!

thanx for the inof all you KE/AE lovers

As for the tyres rub anything, offset on the wheels I really don't know because the car is still in japan waiting to get shipped.

Here some photo's of my car so would have good idea of it(Rear wheel is 9'' with 195/50)...I'm planing to run 205/50 all round

As see the last Photo do you guys think I should go for ???/55/15 for the car being a bit too low??

Thanx again!!

nah don't go 55, the 205 50s will be on the big side alread, and the ride height of that car is pretty high already. I run 195/50s and it looks fine, but mine is al ot lower than that

Thanx for the fast Reply RoadSailing,Cool I just want someone to say what you just have said. I want to go 205 because Proxes RA-1 only come in 205/50 for 15'' wheels.

[awang]

I'm using 205/50/15 also on my ae86, no problems and sits pretty low

awang...how wide is your the wheels? 7''?8''?9''?

if is 9'' do you have any drama fitting a 205 on the wheels?

[awang]

any 'high perfomance' radials should have strong side walls. I personaly would go for hi grip radials because they are a lot more 'safe'. when/if you go beond them limit of a semi slick, you go from total grip to no grip e.I. no contol. street tyres have progression, you will feel how much grip you have so you can push to the limits and know where they are.

having said that, obviously semi slicks are going to have more grip than any street orented tyre. this is only my opinion. it also depends on what you are doing with your car and the suspension setup. regarding street tyres, yokahama c-drives offer lo cost and good grip but are very progressive, brigdestone g3 have better grip but have far less progression.

I hope this has helped you in some way. most street tres can be streched, if they are pushed too far (see just half stepping) they can pop off the bead of the rim, but 205's on a 9" rim should sit nicely and not wear too badly for everyday street driving. I really couldnt coment on streching semi's.
