s13 stock wheel tire size
 
im not sure if this is the right section...


but i was wondering what is the widest tire i could put on my stock s13 wheels?

i was going to go with 205's but could i fit 215's?


ive never really had this question.. im used to stretching lol

im looking for the widest tire i could fit on the wheel safely.. not on the car.

thanks

205/60/15s fit normally. IIRC thats what came stock on SE s13's.

but 215s? just save up and get some wider wheels

shanes14 09-23-2008 10:14 PM

i like how stock wheels look

SoguRacing 09-23-2008 10:14 PM

its up to you. Go for what look you want, save up money then buy it right the first time. that thread i gave you should help with the size tire and the size wheel you should get as well as offset. my opinion? on a 9inch wide rim i would put 235/40/17 and 215/40 or 215/45 up front.

shanes14 09-23-2008 10:15 PM

im using STOCK wheels

SoguRacing 09-23-2008 10:17 PM

215 will work but the rim is like 6.5 inches wide..

he wants to use his stock wheels not buy new wheels.


btw, the difference going from 195 - 215 is so minimal, just rock the stock 195s.

215s will look all balloony and look like ass

shanes14 09-23-2008 10:18 PM

would it be safe?

xkamikazestormx 09-23-2008 10:19 PM

im pretty sure it is. but cmon ... why? lol

SoguRacing 09-23-2008 10:23 PM

yea, my bad. i misread your thread thinking it was his thread.. ooops

shanes14 09-23-2008 10:24 PM

i might just get 205's..


there's just something about an s13 slammed on stock wheels that makes me :wackit:

You could also just get the rim widened ! :) google it. You get the stock look with what ever width fancies you !

shanes14 01-27-2009 09:23 PM

resurection.. lol

ive never heard of that before.. i bet i could buy new wheels for the price of it..

kevmeistah21 01-27-2009 09:42 PM

I currently have 205s/60/15 on my stock se's and it's not stretched if that what you're looking for.. anything above 205 isn't recommended for se's :p soo goodluck finding out the limit

215 on a 9 inch wheel?!?!!?
Damn, the anti-stretch nazi's would be all over you for that. When I think if a wheel/tire combo like that the first thing that pops into my head is a fat guy in a little coat...the little coat (tire) is going to snap off the fat guy (wheel) eventually.
