Just got my new Avon tech R-A 's 205 50 15
they won't fit a stock bodied car!!! I tried them on my Revolution wheels (7 inch rim) I might try them on my fuchs(5.5 inch rim) still not sure the will fit. I call Tire rack before I orderd them and the said I will have no problems!!!! I have used Kumho,hoosier,yokohammas with NO problems in the past BE care full!!! they hang over the rim about a half inch on either side NOT HAPPY (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif) |

You realize the tires will be wider overall when mounted on 7" rims than 5.5s, right? Try the Fuchs, you may find that they fit. Or are close enough that a little pulling will let them. 205s are pretty close even on 5.5s; I'm not surprised that they don't fit on 7s. I believe Rich Johnson had to do a whole lot of work to get 205s on 7" Fuchs to fit under his stock fenders... --DD |
