hey i have brand new tires i bought for my old car and was just wondering if they would fit on my 1994 eagle talon. its not lowered, its stock. would a 215 60 r16 fit the wheel well. i just dont want to put it on and have it rub when i turn. thanks

 

[dlricker]

That tire size would only be a tad bit taller, hardly much at all. I believe you'll be just fine with that size.

 

[knochgoon24]

Width-wise, you won't rub.

 

[My1GLaser]

They will have 1.25" larger OD and you will be fine on a stock height car.

Your speed indicated on the speedometer will be off from stock tire size. I believe you will be going faster than whats indicated because you travel a bit further with each tire revolution. 215/205 x 60mph = 63 mph.

Ok i have the chance to get a set of new work emotion cr-kai 18x8.5s i can get them in three differant offsets +38 +32 +25 and at the moment i have stock suspension but have plans to drop it 1-1.5" but i would like to keep stock camber .
So my question is what offset and tire size would fit ?

 

[highlandgst]

ok i dont remember my sizes ill get back to you tomorrow cause its late but i have offsets 18 konigs ones i think 40 and the rear is 45 or 50 but my car is lowered 1 inch or 2 once more cant remember and they sit flush in there fine no rub

Hey Guys,

Looking at purchasing some new all season footwear! Here in Windsor Ontario our weather is more messed up then can't think of good comment

Anyways I'm looking at the two following tires


Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position

Continental ExtremeContact DWS

Just wondering if any of you guys here have tried any of these tires or have any good stories of their own about wet dry and snow traction!

Thanks

 

[jsawyer]

anyone

Go with a 225/25/17 size. Sidewall is a little slimmer than the ones on the links you posted and will allow for maximum patch on the road without risking to start wheel rubbing.

 

[jeff24680]

thanks thats the kind of reply i wanted to here!

just noticed theyy dont have ANY tires that size, i know the second number is how big the sidewall is and the smaller the number the lower the profile is of the tire. so a 225/45/17 should fit fine?
