    Bottlecap Autox Tires

    I got bottlecaps so they are 14" x 6". I have stock size right now. 195/65 all seasons. I'm just curious as to what tires I can fit. Is 205 about the biggest I can go on 6" wide wheels?

    Its as big as I'd go. Get some 195/60-14 Azenis or RS2s.

      Not 195/65? I've seen some 195/60 tires on bcaps and they look ultra tiny.

        I dont think the Azenis or Rs2s come in 195/65.

        The Azenis on my 14x6 steelies are 195/60. Do they look tiny?

            I got 'em for free. Try edge racing or discount tire direct.

              Falken Azenis 195/60-14s on bottlecaps FTW. I've used these for street and track events. Great dry grip performance and ultra cheap too if you can still locate some (Falken discontinued the Azenis line last year when they introduced the RT-615).

              If you can find a set, get them. I spent < $230 for a set mounted/balanced.

                R-S2's are $61.
                RT-615's are $64.

                  Are you doing just autox with them? You can put a 225/50-14 hoosier on the stock basketweave or bottlecap. The fronts will need a small spacer with hoosiers but ra-1's clear without.
