Hello guys!
So I have a GT tribute with very old BF Goodrich G Force tires. 205/60/15 in the fronts and 225/60/15 in the back. I LOVE the stance I have right now. There doesn't seem to be any good options for a staggered set with the same compound tires. This is a car that rarely gets driven in the wet, is not tracked, but I do put about 3000 miles a year on it. I have a slow leak on my LF and need to purchase some replacement tires. So what is everyone buying these days? Ingo Schmoldt Genau AutoWerks |

Not a lot of tires around with that much sidewall height these days. If you went up to a 16" rim or down to a ~23" diameter tire you would have a lot more options and be able to stick with a staggered 205/225 width
205/50R15 Front , 225/45R15 Rear (23" diameter) or 205/55R16 225/50R16 (~25" diameter) (FYI this is the setup ran on 944 Turbos) Curious what offset and wheel spacers(if any) you are running? Looking for new wheels for my flared cars and it looks like you have the wheel wells filled out pretty much perfectly. |
