Would someone be able to tell me what is the largest tire I can put on a stock suspension with a 15.5 wheel.
Currently running 185x65x15 and want to go a little more aggressive without tires rubbing on the fenders. THanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/santa_smiley.gif) |

On my Deep-6 15" Fuchs I am running the Yokohama 195x55x15. I think it looks great and it does not rub anywhere. My car is about 1 1/4" lower than stock. I could have run 205x55x15 all around but to my eye the 205 looked just a hair big on the rim. The 195 fits way better. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I currently have 195/55R15 Michelins on 15 x 6 Fuchs on this car, a 3.2L conversion, but the small diameter of 23.4" was no longer working after I switched to a 915 transaxle with 8:31 final drive ratio. The 205/60R15 Sumitomos will give me 0.4" more tread width and 1.3" more height (still shy of standard height) with less revolutions per mile to better work with the 915 transaxles gearing. I might go back to 195/55R15 for my 2.0L four however. |
