15*7 & 15*6.5

[mattyn]

hey guys looking at wheels and tyres was hoping for some second opinions/experience!!


front: 15*6.5 +20
rear: 15*7 +14
all wheels will run on G3 potenzas (already have a set off my old GTiR want to use, on a budget) 205*55*15
(could run 6 ml spacer to bring out front OR 10 ml at front and 4ml at back????)

Jdm trueno coupe with JIC coilovers, lowered but not ridiculous will run -neg camber (about -3).


what are your thoughts?

what offset and what tyres you running?!

[blair]

miles of clearance man...

will look like balls by the way, 205 on a 6.5 = reverse stretch? lol

Will fit fine.

5mm slip on the front

195/50 tyres, 205/55 will be too big

have 195 tires and I'm not sure about the offset... there 'superlights' if that helps..

[Konakid]

cheers for that, so 205/55 is a no go!? if i were to run them for now would it fit or would rolling diameter be out far too much?
thing is i have 6 of these tyres already so id like to use em or would you not reccomend??
what would they go like handling wise if they would fit under the gaurds??




thanks for all the replies everyone.

Much to big, 205/50 is the biggest youd want to ever go, profile will put your speedo out and they will bulge on the rim giving average response through the steering wheel.

As far as performance goes, the Potenza G3 is a fucking good tyre for the money, Id sell yours secondhand and put that cash towards some new Bridgestone Adrenaline RE001's, they are the G3 replacement, same price and stick like shit to a blanket.

^^ lol the man speaks the truth

[mattyn]

is it worth buying new rims for zero offset and an extra half inch or do you think that those rims with the 195 50s with small spacing would be relatively similar handling wise.


yeah ive heard about the adrenalins from couple of mates, heaps on forums and they get awesome reviews, not badly priced for 15s either.
i checked earlier this week and there only 133$ for 195*50*15 atm through bridgestone themselves.

[Robo86]

i can get ya a set of xr4s any size and offset pm me if u want

[mattyn]

hey, thanks for all your help, ive bought volk racing mesh type wheels, 15*6.5 +20 at the front and 15*7 +14 at rear, there in the shop getting powder coated and polished now they should look the part when i get em back. black with a silver fleckthrough it on the mesh and a polished chrome lip/dish.

paid for my adrenaline tyres yesterday, 4* 195 50 15.. can't wait to see how they go through the corners when everything is together!!! 516$ total so i reckon that was a pretty good price. ALL HAIL 15 inch rims :P paying for 17inch tread is ridiculous!

next issue: suspension settings , but that can wait till the car is out of compliance (if ever!) :S


thanks again for everyone who posted up, i guess when i finally get the car and have some decent photos i will get round to running an intro thread :)

cheers
