anyone have pics of a 240sx running on 205/50 size rubber on a 15" tire? preferably lowered somewhat...


btw - still haven't gotten the new tires for the new rims yet. :( combination of lack of fundage and being gone for a week.

Ever seen a car rolling on a donut spare?

It looks like that.

Don't do it. :)

guh i was so close. thanks dude :)


anyways, another interesting thing i found in my search is that the ES100's come in a bunch of 15" sizes - one being 225/50R15. would this look too ballooney or have fitment issues on a 7 inch wide wheel?

I run 195/55/15 drift tires all the time (on the back). They work fine to me. I love running anything between 45-55 series tires, they have very little sidewall flex and Im able to tell what they are doing a lot better than with a 60+ series tire.

a 205 will have no problems running on a 7j rim. It will look fine.
