hey guys i'm running on stock 91' GXL rims, i want to know if i can run...



Tire type: Potenza's S-03

225-50-15 in the rear

and

205-50-15 in the front?



and if so, how much more of a drop would be needed for ride height to be ideal with these tires. Using racing beat suspension, with a 1 to 4 damper settings.

 

what are the stock tire sizes? I am guessing 225 is too wide, but i dont know for sure. You know those two tires have a different side wall height?



the 225 = 225mm wide

the 50 = 50% of 225, so 112.5mm side wall



the 205 = 205 mm wide

the 50 = 50% of 205, so 102.5mm side wall



the side wall difference isnt bad or anything, but you would only be off by about a mm with a 205-50 and 225-45



If the wheels are 6.5 inches wide 215 is about as wide as you can go

If the wheels are 7 inches wide you can do a 225, but why not do the widest tire possible all the way around?

 

I run BFG G-Force sports on 91 NA's, with a 215/50 up front and a 225/50 out back, combo works great and has excellent response.

 

why not 225s all the way around?

 

Steering might have gotten slopy with 225s on a 6 inch wheel.

 

I got 255 45 zr17's on 17X7.5 on the rears. and 225 45 zr17's up front. Goodyear Wrangler hp's covering the ***, and dunlop sp9000's up front, just cause the HP's are no longer made

 

Holy crap! You guys got a 225 on a 6 inch wheel, i thought they were at least 6.5. Does it look crazy? I guess there is enough side wall there that its possible.

 

Actually it looks really good, 205's look like crap to me. Ill see if I can get some pics up of them.

 

presume track as in road course..

if so.. the so3s will hold up but dont recommend it...

she will stick but shes best used for street.. youll chew her up good

used em as a last resort at vir.. check for pics here
