tires question....

[natorious]

ok well as you may or may not know my passenger side wheels are trashed...

i have a set of stock corrado g60 wheels (15x6) and 4 195/65/15 tires...

i test fitted one of the rims (sans tire) to the car and it seemed to fit fine (havent tried the front yet tho)

anyone have any reason to belive that this wont work as a temporary solution until i can get two replacement bottle caps and pick up my summer wheels?

corrado wheels seems to have the same center bore but i dont know the offset...

whats the offset on the bottlecaps?....what about the factory corrado rims (thinking 38 but i dont know)

[bwanac]

Bottlecap offset 35. 99% sure.

As for some replacement, I have a few bottlecaps around. If you want some I may be able to sell you them. PM me if interested!

doest look that bad... =)

Putting 195/65-15's on there is going to change your drive ration 4.2%....


A better fitment would be a 205-55/15

What;s with the blotches in the middles?

[natorious]

yeah i know its not ideal.. but this is a tempory fix a week or two... dont want to turn down free tires if they will work for now...

Those aren't too bad. Very 80's in my opinion.

That is a p-chop right? Otherwise they look kinda odd.

[bwanac]

I would have let him hit me, sued his ass, and taken a fatty settlement.

Come on, E30's aren't that great ;)

Don't worry. You'll be cool.

I'm putting on 205/60-15 next week just because I got a set of Yoko Avid H4's for $50 with only 3k miles on them.

A tall sidewall is not a good enough reason to pass up that deal. And this is just temporary for you, so it's fine. (p.s. before flaming, I'm planning on ES100's 225/50 in the summer)
