(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/givemebeer.gif) im going to be working on a friend of mines 924 who is putting a widebody kit on the car. I found some wheels at a swap meet and bought them for the guy who needed some wide enough wheels. The tires on the rims which is prob. the size we will stick with, is 285/40/15. I cannot find these tires available anywhere! Any ideas. They would need to be streetable tires, not slicks.
can you believe i only paid $200 for these? THey are very nice, 205's on the front. Almost thought about putting them on the teener but...just cant do it. Attached image(s) |

285 seems like too much tire for an 8 or 9 inch rim, Andy. A 245 or 255 seems like plenty according to manufacturers specs. xsboost, what is the rim width on those wheels you have? I would measure the tires you have, section width and overall diameter, then compare to some tires you can find at tirerack. They usually post tires specs from the manufacturer on Tire Rack. Here's some Hoosier specs: Hoosier specs |
