After searching the board going through the FAQ

looks like I come up with several different sizes for tires and wheels



I would like to go with the Panasport FS

Now i'm thinking 15's with a 4x110 bolt pattern now what tire size I've read 205/50/15's i've read 195/50/15 I don't want it to rub if i can help it *and yes i realize that using a larger wheel it will naturally rub*



Suggestions comments ect....



BTW does anyone know how much the Panasports are?

went to their site no prices looked on Tirerack nothing listed. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png

But if no one knows off hand i'm going to call them tomorrow and find out....



Thanx guys https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I recommend 205's for a little wheel rub now and again on hard corners.



If your after not much wheel rub at all, 195's. It will also depend on if you have an a/m steering wheel as well. Smaller ones will disrupt your 'lock to lock' causing wheel rub when you think you should be right.

ok now were gettin https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683621.gif here...



so you guys think that there would be less chance of a rubbing problem with the 195/50/15's?

Racer X 06-30-2003 01:13 PM

Is it lowered at all?I would go with some 205 50's if its not.

I have been running 205/50/15's on my car for the last 10,000 miles, and even with frequent track days, auto-xes, and daily driving, I have never even once had a problem with rubbing. I am also running RB springs, front and rear and Tockicko Illuminas, all around.

I recommend 205's. they are most deffiently worth it.

205/50/15 is pretty close to the same height as the stock wheels and tires, so they should be fine.

I have been using 205's for about 5 years now with no rubbing. My car is lowered 1". My car actually rubbed more with 205/60/13's than my 15's. The Panasports look cool, but I like my Snypers better.

You might try www.paulspruell.com

I don't know anything about the company. Just saw their ad in the new Grassroots Motorsports. It says they have Panasports.

Good luck. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

i'm running a set of panasport rims on my 85... they used to have 195/50/15s on them, but now have 205/50/15s.... either or would work just fine... i love the rims...

AYB 07-01-2003 12:19 AM

Well I called Panasport they dont' sell direct

so i went to the place up the street here where we always get our tires from....



The Wheels with 205/50/15's are 1300 looks like i'm going to have to wait for a little bit before i get them.... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
