15x8 0 offset what size tire for my s13?

[RHDintegXSI]

i just picked up a set of enkei mesh 15x8 F 20offset/ R 0 offset

i wont be throwing the wheels on until i pick up a set of coilovers to get it to the ride height i want it to be

whats a good ballpark size tire to start off with? i dont mind rolling the fenders or sleight pull if thats even necessary

[Dousan_PG]

205/50/15

would be coooool

[ayuaddict]

yea, i have 205/50/15 on my 15x8s.

205/50/15



a 225-50-15 would give you a much bigger contact patch--I ran 205-50-15 on a 15x7 and thought they were too narrow. My other 15x7's have 225's on them and give much better bite. I am contemplating picking up 15x8's and for sure will go with a wider tire ( AutoX and Track)

[sittinsideways]

i have 16x8.5 and am runnin 225/45s

[td5turbo]

215/50 would be best.

[Jung918]

Hankook makes 225/45

[~4N~]

If you don't want fender gap in the front, then you'll need a sidewall bigger than 50.

205/50/15

And call it a day.

[jrocslider]

205/50/15 ftw

[Jefferson]

Yup 205-50-15
My neighbor has sportmax (I assume thats the wheels your looking at) and thats what he put on his wheels. It gives a bit of stretch in case your wondering

[~4N~]

Buy my 205/50/15's! :)

[RHDintegXSI]

thanks guys..i just installed my suspension today..the thing is pretty damn low..im leaning towards the 205/50/15 hopefully that will be enough where there wont be a wheel gap up front.

btw has anyone ran a 205/55/15?

[jobestudios]

good choice, rt615 is an awesome street tire

[Typeone]

Convert the x 8 into MM

8 inches = 203.2 MM, a tire similar to the size of the rim would be a 205.

If you want a streched look, go with a 195.

If you want a wide look, goo with a 215, or 225.

[Grant]

looks real good man.

[coupelove626]

I WOULD ROCK 205/50r15 FEDERAL TIRES. For some reason, they are wider than other tires.

[UfoZ8myCow]

My car came with federals when I bought it, i just figured Id burn right through them before I got something better, but I actually liked drifting with them.

[J.Silvia]

i would suggest atleast 215's. 205s to small you need BEEF:D

[TougeNinja]

to bad 215/50-15 isnt common at all :(

[Ca_laurier]

looks awsome, but i don't want to make a new thread, sorry for high jacking

but for 16x8 0 offset, whats a decent tire 205/45/16?

[yokotas13]

sure why not.
its everywhere
go to your local tire shop, ask them the narrowest smallest tire you can run and do it

[projekt_s13]

215/50 would be best.
lol do not go 215
wanna see how gay they look on 15's

what series are they? 215/?/15

im happy with my 205/50/15's right now but as soon as i burn through my rears im thinking about trying out some 225/50/15's hopefully the sidewall wont be too tall

[projekt_s13]

I think 215/55/15 or 215/60/15. Im not sure

[jim1234664]

Just wondering what kind if suspension setup ur running?

[Jfitzg38]

My friend runs 195/50s on his. Looks good and performs well for a drift car

[LockOn!]

Is this real life?

This thread is from '07 guys. 195-55 or 50, 205-50. And by the looks of it that white coupe has Tein springs lol.

Lock this shit.
