Rim Sizes + Tyre Profiles

[04ae86]

i have a 4ac and im running 215/14/60 with my stock running gear i still get a lot of smoke and side ways action you dont need forced induction.
(but it would help)you just have to have more balls and go into corners a little faster.

Oh god...the 'ol "Anything narrower is dangerous...the tyre will roll off the rim" attitude.

Tell em to bash off.

I've run a 175 on a 7" rim no probs.

Do you have 15x8s?

Wanna sell?

[ae86 slide]

ive been told mis matching tyre width to rims is actually illegal as its an instant defect and it comes back on the tyre fitter/seller

[Gilly]

i think that depends on who is defecting you. but i know what you mean, its like tyre shops that won't sell big rims to mini truck guys because of load ratings and stuff...... it all depends on the mood of the cop or transport inspector me thinks

im runnin 185/60/14 on an 8 or 8.5 inch rim(depends who measures it ) on the front and im havin scrubin issues on the firewall???

[mattysshop]

this is what i was running on the back..

205/50 R15 on 15x9 (yes i said 9!!!) speedstars -2 offset..

[mumblezzz]

I've had a 165 on a 7 before no probs. Shit, Josh runs a 195 on a 9 so yeah theres no real problem with stretching. Unless you are shit at parallel parking or someting...

[Joel-AE86]

Stretched tyres are the bomb dizzle

f*** what the authorities and fatass tyre fitting carnts think.

[GTVAE86]

Not interested in selling, sorry.

I am actually looking for more 8inch wide wheel, just so hard to find.

[BouNCE-86]

So running a 225/50/15 on an 8inch tyre wont really be stretched will it?
You would still have tonnes of sidewall flex...... It would be best to at least run a 195/50/15 on a 8"wide?.......
