Gonna need tires for my little toy. Wondering what size tires are the biggest that I can use on stock type wheels??

205x50x15's

205X55's will fit also.

Cool! Thanks!! The tires on it didn't have the full number set, so I didn't quite know where to begin. I appreciate the help!!

205s will work if you've got 5.5 in wheels (4 bolt fuchs, Pedrinis, Mahles, ect.) 165 is about as wide as you can go on the 4.5 in steelies.

Best of luck,

4 lug fuchs are the best for trying to get 205's under stock fenders. Mahle and Pedrini wheels I think have difference backspacing...

Ok, I looked at the parts car which has the better wheels. (alloy) and it looks like it has 185/65/15 on them. That being said, I would assume that it has the 5.5 wheels??

alright, here is a pic of the wheels on one of the cars

And here are the wheels on the parts car

The steel wheels on your silver car appear to be 5.5 inchers, but you can verify by looking at the humps between the lug bolt areas. it will be stamped 5.5 or 4.5.

The dark car does not have Porsche alloys - those are ATS alloys and, if my memory serves me (which is generally NOT the case) they have a strange offset & won't allow big tires. They are not Pedrini, Mahle or Fucks - they are aftermarket.

Darn!!! Of course the Alloys won't, they were the ones I thought looked better. Oh well, either I go with the steel, which I verified are 5.5" and bigger tires or I go with the Alloys and 185 or 195?? Thanks!!!
