All,
I'm looking to get either 16 x 7 wheels or maybe the 15 x 6.5 BBS vert wheels to run on my N/A '86 GLX. What tire width would be the most ideal for aggressive street driving and autocrossing? I'm sure up to a 245 would fit easily on either rim but since my car will be mostly stock in the power category except for a RB full exhaust system, is it worth going larger than a 225? I don't want the extra rolling resistance of a 245 if I don't need any larger than a 225 to get good traction/grip. Also, anyone have some extra BBS vert wheels sitting around?


Thanks

 

225's would probably work. i have 225/45/17's on mine. and although i know they have a shorter sidewall i think you'd be fine. look at tire compound too. different tires have different compounds. unfortunately the stickier the tire the less time they'll last.

 

I have some BBS vert wheels I've been meaning to sell. Where are you located?

 

I live near Des Moines, Iowa. How many do you have and how much do you want for them?

 

4 with center caps, not sure on price, gotta do some research and let you know

 

4 autocross quality rims with no caps $200 + shipping from 29853

 

I've got 4 Toyota Camry BBS wheels, gold, 15". $100 plus shipping from 32310.

 

Can you guys PM me pictures? Don't want to buy anything that doesn't at least look decent! Plus I need 5 lug, 114.3 spacing, around 40 offset.
