Anybody know what size wheels these are?

Why don't you just get 17's if you want small tires?

Oh yeah, I forgot how cool it is to run tires that are 1.5" undersized.

That's only 1.4" undersized.....or about .6" inch undersized from what I'll be rolling on. You have something against shorter, stiffer sidewalls on smaller diameter, and usually lighter wheels?

It's not like he is after performance if he is running 215 tires on a 9" wide rim.

thanks for the correct calculations rwh11385.

Whats the worst .6" can do to an E30? Throw off the speedometer by 4mph.

And its 215 on an 8" rim buddy. And if theyre not enough for performance I will just have some radials on my 14's. Those will have that great huge 60 series sidewall you love so much. And I can use those at the autocrosses. But I think I can get away with using my 15x8 RS's with .6" undersized rubber on daily commute where Im not racing to get to school. They mostly gotta look good and function. And they would. But if somebody could please tell me the REAL tire size on the Breyton E30. That would help me much. ( the real reason why I created the post )

Thanks for all your opinions. ;)

You didn't qualify "for a show car" or anything. In this and the other post I quoted, you simply are making fun of the tire size, not even what wheel it is on. Maybe a little streched, but I'd rather have a 215 on a 8" than a 225 on a 7" because it looks better.......hell, i think 215 on 7.5" would be just about right.....8" wide not that bad.

propcar, it's .6" more undersized than what undersized tires I'm going to run, but 1.4" smaller than stock. But who cares? It's like having a 3.91 rear end for cheap.

What size wheel and tire are on this Breyton demo car?


Thanks in advanced.[/img]

I'm starting to think that they're 225/45R16s on 16x8's. First I thought they were 225/50 on 15x8s because they do have the slight sidewall bubble, but it looks like the sidewall is too small to be a 15 inch wheel. However, if you think about it, that isn't an undersized tire. Look in front and behind each wheel. Undersized tires leave too much of a gap fore and aft of the wheel due to the less overall circumference. But THOSE tires fill out the wheel well completely, so they can't be undersized.

So anyway, I'm gonna be different from the rest and say 225/45s on 16x8.

EDIT: If indeed they are 15s with undersized rubber, I don't think 215/45 on a 15x8 would have any sort of sidewall bubble. Maybe they're 215/50R15 on 15x8?

EDIT2: Ok, my official vote is 215/50s on 15x8. They do look small for 16s.

But who cares?

I did when I had 195/60's. Looks kinda stupid.

[rwh11385]

But who cares?

Looks

e30s look stupid anyway, all boxy and shit. mine's pink for heaven's sake......might as well start caring about things over than looks.

Yeah but boy over here is going for looks. I think it looks stupid. That simple.

[rwh11385]

True, true....sometimes I forget people worry about the Appearance & Cosmetic section.......oh wait, lol.


My advice: buy an E36 + M Kit.

Who said I was going for all looks?? I just know that my RS's are gonna look better with a smaller side wall than a big one. I know what style is.

My wheels already have undersized rubber. Hows about this 195-45-15 on 15x8 :) holy shit Ive commited a crime and Im sure it looks really horrible.

TJ doesn't have balloon tires
The tires on the breyton car don't look very stretched to me
Just because a tuner has a big name, doesn't mean that they are the end-all source of information and they do everything correctly :roll:

you, sir, are a closed minded toolshed

edit: note-I am indeed sober today

and look now, everyone thinks you're cool now that you've posted pictures of your VW with undersized tires! That makes everything okay..

and btw, you just said it yourself that you're getting them for looks

ummm yeah. but Im not all about looks. but I like my $2000 wheels to look good. Woudlnt you? And if you dont, I really dont care. Im more open minded than you would know. But all I hear when I post a car I like is bla bla bla undersized this and that. I think the red car looks good. It barely has a stretch at all.. And all Im trying to find out is what tire and wheel size he has so I can replicate it. But you guys seem to be missing the point of this post and insist on inflicting your opinion on undersized and stretched tires.

I dont care if you dont like my car or my wheels or my tire size and stretch. But Ive taken that car with undersized tires autocrossing and I survived!!!! Thats right ladies and gentleman a car with stretched tires racing!!! And the bead didnt pop off :roll:

EDIT: I thank C ///M for giving me a informative post. Thanks friend.
