Another tire size question

[s13coupedude]

Whats the best size of tire for a 15x7 +23. Not lowered, yet anyway. Didn't want to start a new thread but I gotta get them ordered tomorrow. Also think I should get spacers? If so what size? Thanks.

this may help you: http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp

195/60/15 or 205/60/15 or 205/55/15 or 215/55/15 or 225/50/15 depending on:

1. how stiff you want the sidewall to be
2. how comfortable you want the ride to be
3. whether or not you like sidewall bulge

On a S13, I think 205 section width is right for a 7'' wide wheel and 60 sidewall aspect ratio is right for a 15'' diameter wheel. 55 and 50 will make the small 15'' look extra small. Any wider than 205 may bulge too much, but maybe you want to run 195 to make the sidewall stiffer. Running 195 might be better if you want to run spacers to make the wheels flush with your fenders.

Spacers... maybe 15mm but not sure. Also, make sure they're hubcentric... if the wheels center bore is larger than 66.1mm then you'll probably need spacers with 66.1mm inner and 73.0mm outer.

Thanks I think i'll go 205-60.

Get a 20mm spacer :D (do they make them?) Wouldn't matter because if your still 4x4 it'll still look like poo even if your wheels are flush...

205/55...

50 too small of sidewall, 60 too much..

+23 isn't bad, but if you want Max JDM tizzite flushness run a 10-20mm spacer.

195 or 205. You decide on your tire height and next suspension choice.

Anyone know of any good tire deals going on? I don't need something to great, just a decent summer daily driver tire.
