ok i've searched coutless thradess. and asked many people... i'm kinda frustrated.. i keep hearing different.
i was told by someone that all 240rims size 15 were the same size.. 15x6.5...
i know the s13 se rims were r15x6.5" but i traded my friend for his s14 base model rims and $200. i was told they ar r15x6.5 as well... whats the deal does anyone know for sure..?..
i am planning on running 205/60/15 yoko avs es100's on there so i kinda wann make sure thanx

ok then.. well are u saying the s14 base rims are 15/6 as well?...
also what size spacers do people run on their s13se rims to get them to clear z-brakes adn suspension

edit: is it ok to run 205 on 6" wide rims?.. they are reccomended stock 195... so i figure it'll be aiight

dont quote me on this

iirc

base s14 are same 15x6

to clear z brakes? er..not sure. for s13 depends on the design, some years had more spoke clearance on back.

i dont know what size spacer never tried/cared.

yeah you can. but you are still getting a lot of sidewall flex.

Stock S13s with the Sport Package ('89-'90) or the SuperHICAS package ('91-'93) had 205/60-15's stock on the 15x6's.

It's fine.

If you're worried about sidewall flex get a good tire with stiff sidewalls.

I've got no complaints about my current setup (205/60-15 Yokohama AVS Intermediate on steelies) aside from the lack of caliper clearance.

I have the Intermediates on my other rims (225's on 15x7) and they are pretty grippy, but I wore through them in just 6 months. The grip came from a really soft compound not good design. Its close to a 10 year old model so thats why they are so cheap now. I think they are being phased out.
