Can 215/70/15 tires fit onto stock S13 rims?

240SX stock wheels
Size: 15" x 6"
Bolt Pattern: 4 x 4.5
114.3mm = 4.50"

P192/60R15 86H
P205/60R15 89H

What is largest tires that can fit onto stock S13 rims?

Thanks!

why u want bigger sidewall?
u can always go 225, but it will look like a huge balloon

sillyvia13 · 01-09-2009, 07:41 PM

its not a truck, just the motor...

tire will fit in rear... but your gonna be 4x4 hard.

redsx13 · 01-10-2009, 01:33 AM

come on, why do you want to go and put those monsters on there?

Z_Spool · 01-10-2009, 02:49 AM

Holy crap... I'm running 205/60's in the rear and thought those were bad. Good luck fitting those in the front, they'd most likely rub, if move at all. Rear's would fit, but it wouldn't be pretty.

Yes, they will fit......................on the wheel! Don't know about clearance, especially in the front when the suspension cycles and when you turn..............or try to turn!

Then you can go mudding with the rest of the 4x4's!

Stick with the OEM size!

Check this site out to figure out sizes for what will fit your wheel.
http://www.rims-n-tires.com/info_specs.jsp

According to its calculations(based on the 195/60R15 tire):
You will be about 2.7" too tall(so you're lifting your car 1.35".........most guys lower their car that much)
0.4" closer to the suspension
0.4" closer to the fender and you will be going about 11% faster than what your speedo says(if speedo says 60mph, you're actually going 66.6mph)!

Hope this helps!

Basically, I want to know what is the max/min width and aspect ratio of tires that fit onto S13 stock rims.

I want to buy cheap used tires for drifting.

DreamN · 01-12-2009, 12:27 PM

why would you want wider tires if you're just looking for cheap drift tires? stick to 195/60s or 205/60s. they'll be cheaper and easier to find.

Loki_S13 · 01-20-2009, 04:29 PM

Ive got 215/60/R15 (stock rims) and it doesnt rub for shit......i have MEGAN lowering SPRINGS.......still doesnt RUB for shit......YES it looks like i have a damm 4x4 pick up LOL, and they feel really good, I live where there is alot of cabo stone and big ass speed bumps! Still get stuck in the beach sand though LOL.

ILoveMyRHS13 · 01-20-2009, 04:35 PM

I'm trying 205/55/R15s next time I buy tires.

Monooxide · 01-20-2009, 09:08 PM

I wouldnt rock 70 series 215s...that would be horrendus...

The flex in the tires would be astronomical.

kevmeistah21 · 01-27-2009, 09:56 PM

i have 205/60/15 and it's ugly

Yes, do this. Best size tire for 15s that are 7 inches wide or less.

BoostedCoupe · 01-31-2009, 10:09 AM

i can run my se wheels with 205/60/15 with my coils and z brakes, i dont have any rubbing issues.

supreme_1 · 01-31-2009, 01:39 PM

although it may be cheaper, if your using a bigger tire you are going to having a harder time sliding and you are going to need to rev higher. that is considering you have a stock ka.

it also depends how low your car is, those specs are considering your car is stock height and the car is sitting, not sliding. you are going to have body roll when you slide (depends on your suspension) so with that tire size im sure your going to be rubbing on ish

*hOngsterr* · 02-16-2009, 05:59 PM

i used to have 205/65/15 in the rears.
sometimes i would rub the sidewall soo i recommend get a smaller profile tire
now im rolling with 195/50/15 lol 595 baybee

redsx13 · 02-16-2009, 10:26 PM

DO NOT run 70 series sidewalls on a 240, especially for drifting. That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

I throw away used 60-65 series all day because i would not even think of running them on my car.

Hawaiian240 I love that you have a link to calcualte speed based on tire size...
