215/40 is your limit. 225/40 doesn't really exist AFAIK.

Yep you are right. Seems like only a few semi slicks in that size :/

235's have scrubbing issues I assume?

215's should be fine. Thanks mate

OK need some input. wheels are 16x8 et11 (front) and 16x10 et23 (RS all around).


Had a set of 5x120 16x8 et11 filled/redrilled to 4x100 before, but the wheel place shaved the back pad to even(flatten it) out and I kinda didn't like that.

Now my question, can I get away with doing an adapter on rear 18mm adapter (4x100 to 5x114.3) to a final ET of +5 even if it's 10"?

what do you suppose I should do with the front wheels? TIA

William need to roll or pull, or spacers for:
Also, tire size?

Late model coupe with 15x8 et13 BBS RM?

Thanks!

No, the rear offset is close to where you want it without adapters.

You should just be able to clear a 205/50. Rear roll may be necessary if you're really low.

15x6 front and 15x7 rear ET13 on all 4. I currently run 195/65/14 on my winter wheels with no issues and I like the meaty look. I am thinking 195/60/15 for the new wheels. Is this a good option? Car is lowered approx 1.5-2 inches and all four fenders are rolled.

I decided to order up some 18mm adapters so I can run my 5x120 wheels on my M tech vert.

Front is 17x8 ET 20 - 18mm net offset +2
Rear is 17x9 ET 26 -18mm net offset +8

I want to run at least 215/40 on the 9's so I can still use them on my other cars. Suspension is H&R Race springs/Bilstein sports. I figure I can stack more spring pads in the rear to add height if needed. What do you guys think? All feedback is appreciated.

I am sure its been asked, but:
I have a lowered 89 coupe w/ Ronal LS 15x7.5 et25 and 225/15 tires.
I didn't have to roll fenders, but believe I have some rubbing in the front.
I'm assuming its on the strut because it only happens during low speed turns.
I found 3mm spacers, but is it a problem to run them just in front or should I get a pair for the rear also?
Is it necessary to spend the extra money for the 3mm longer bolts, or would stock bolts work fine?
Thanks

There isn't. The fronts are already oversized in diameter, there's no suitable rear that will look right and actually fit.

thanks for the input i decided to go with 205/45/16 all around

Hey guys, quick question. I have the OEM bottlecap wheels on all 4 corners and stock suspension, which will all be staying as is for now. It seems the stock size for tires is 195-65-14 and the PO had 215-60-14 on there.

I need to replace two of the tires and I am looking for great rain performance without regard to snow (MIAMI!!). I see there is a lack of options in the two sizes above, but it looks like 195-60-14 would work.

Any recommendations to other sizes and to specific tires for the car for wet traction?

Thanks!

Should fit with the fender roll. I'd still suggest 195/55 though.

Doesn't fit. You need extreme stretch to fit those wheels with adapters.

Step 1 would be to look to see what's rubbing. Can't create a solution without knowing the problem.

Yes, 195/60 is the common second choice to actually find good tires. The Falken ZE-912 is good in the wet and comes in the stock size.
