So I found my steelies...

[scott_is]

Its the family beater toyota tercel.
original wheel tire: 13"x 4.5" 155/80/r13 centerbore=54.1 offset 38
new wheel tire: 14" 185/70/r14 offset 35

It does rub in the back and there's a little shake in the back above 70mph
They are probably coming off this week end because those tires will kill
the fuel efficiency and does look pretty retarded/riced. It already looked like a bumper car with the plastic bumpers on but now it looks just like a toy.
miata.net tire calculator says:
speedometer reading is 1.3% too fast
so odo speedo at 60 means 59.2



the tires actually look smaller than reality on the pic.
That kinda made my day
comments?

I had bottle caps on my escort, and on my brothers mirage (had to roll his fenders)

I don't get it

same. are you trying to make your car look more ghetto?

[scott_is]

I don't get it

tires were shot on the other set, the stock one (dangerous when
it was raining). The steelies from the 318 have 4 seasons tire with
more than half threads left. Those rims won't fit my car when the new suspensions will be installed. Look at it as a kind of recycling. and the
car has been hit on the front left corner so it already looks really ghetto.
And it the beater so I don't care the look. As long as it works. Function>look

But like you said, it doesn't work. Why don't you just buy some new tires. What are they, like $50 a tire for the stock wheels?

[SpecM]

should improve fuel effecientcy

bigger rolling diameter = higher effective gear ratio

bigger rolling diameter also = more rotating mass for that weak ass engine to push.
