The PO put 195/60s on the back, and 185/60s on the front. The fronts are almost shot, so I'm going to be buying new rubber in the not-too-distant future.

What's the max tire size I can fit under a stock, norrow body car running Pedrinis?

How much bigger if I roll the lip, and maybe put a slight flare? I plan on installing GT flares in the future, but it may be awhile.

I'm running 205/55's on Pedrinnis and they fit fine. No fender mods.

I ran 205/50's last year.

Notice the differance between the stock rubber?

Perfect! Thanks!

The Peds are a 5.5" rim, so you won't want to go any wider than a 205.

Yok says a 5.5 is OK.
Hoosier says 6" min. ( I ignored that ) Ran 'em on 5.5 Westerns.

Here's a side shot of the Yok 205 next to a Mich 165/85 IIRC.
( or was is a 185/65 )

Kewl! That should be quite a dramatic change from the sidewall deflection I'm experiencing now.

Umm, can I assume the car will look disproportionate until I lower it? Only one way to find out for sure, I guess.

Thanks again!

If the Hoosiers are still bias-ply (they made only bias-ply until fairly recently), then wider tires will fit on narrower rims, so you don't have to ignore their advice for their tires. Radials require more "support" from the rims, so you can't go so wide on those, which is why Yoko limits you to 195 on 5.5" rims.

On clearance with stock fenders, note that the rears often show substantial variation from car to car and from side-to-side on the same car, so what fits on car A doesn't always fit on car B.

Here's a side view on my...ahem...lowered car.

Who are the clubbers standing nearby? ( 10 pts each )

Actually their website states a 205 is OK on a 5.5" rim.


My Hoosiers were both the a/x and road race DOT radials.

Not saying 5.5" rims are great. Just OK.

My 7's are way better
