I bought myself a set of vert bbs rims for auto-x. I am planning to put slicks on them and i want to know what the widest tire i can put on the fronts is? My good rims have 215's so I know that would fit but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

i wouldnt go any wider than 225, and thats if youre using a stock height sidewall. The vert rims are only 6.5" wide. If you go to www.tirerack.com it will tell you the acceptable rim diameters for each tire under the tire specs.
|
So i could put 225 up front and not have it rub on my springs?
|
I have 225's on the front of my fc without any rubbing problems, but I have 16" rims. I dont think you would have a problem, as long as you dont go any taller than stock height though.

thanks

i run 225/45r17 on the frount of my fc with jic coil overs, on a 8" wide rim but needed a .250" spacer for clearance of the shock but on a stock stut there is no problem even running a 235 with the proper width wheel.
|
my mustang rims had 235-45-17's, no rubbing on the coil overs, but if i didnt have camber plates they would have been all over the fenders
|
The rim width will pose more of a problem than the shock clearance. Vert rims are 15 x 6.5. A friend of mine has 245's on the front of his fc with 5 mm spacers.
|
whats the advantage of taht?
id put skinnier tires |
I wanna know how in the heck you get a 245 on a 6.5 inch rim, I have 215/55 on a 17x6.5 and it looks like a balloon.
