I'm rockin 205/50-15's on 15x10's




personally I think 225/50-15 looks perfect on 10's, but that's just me.

I think if you find certain super laid back shop to do it if you're slammed and wayyy out of spec lol

Sell the tires, and buy new ones.


Fronts I would go 185/45/15

Rears I would go 205/45/15

took the words right out of my mouth.

do you know the offsets on your wheels?

looks like 205/50 or 55s would look good in the rear. it would definitely help with clearance. remember you're going to have to lower the car more wink.gif

hmm for the fronts i would say keep the width but lower the sidwall to maybe 50s. is your front camber maxed out? there are a couple of guys on zilvia with DRW's, i'll try and find their post to help with your tire size decision.

Here are some

http://zilvia.net/f/wheels-tires/339978-fs...-new-tires.html

http://zilvia.net/f/chat/164056-phatty-4-l...-thread-17.html (scroll down)

theyre rockin 10s all around, the rear offsets look similar to yours. 45 may be a tad to small, but you can see the clearance is better. 205/50s like i originally said would be good.

BTW i am not a fan on that coupe what so ever, just trying to help you out.lol.

in the end man it really comes down to what you want to do. more stretch+smaller sidewall= wheel gap(unless you plan to go lower). if you dont want to slam your shit consider more stretch with taller sidewalls.

one more

I'm buying new tires and want more of a stretch, the camber upfront is not maxed out I will be having that taken care of as soon as I can find a shop down here that can do it, don't really want to lower it anymore because the frame rails are like a inch and a half off the ground, its a 0 offset all around. that coupe looks a true slammer though lol,

im running 165/45 on a 15x8 and 195/45 on 15x10? haha that would create mad wheel gap on a 240 though, when i had my s13 i had planned on putting 195/60r15's on 10's but 205/50's looks really good too.
