New Wheel/Tire Size thread

[c_law23]

The mb weapon are +38. It's in the description. 16x7 4-100 38br

Or you can go to the manufacturers website.

Ohhh, see told you i was dim on the subject lol. What does the br stand for?

Hell if I know. I just know that 38 is a well known number for offsets. I think the konig is +44, but that's just a educated guess for the numbers that I saw. I never went to the manufacturers site. Too lazy!

195/55/16 on an 8" wide wheel?
Too tall for stretch?
I did a 205/45/16 in the past and It was a tiny bit too undersized for me.

That sounds terrible. Why would you want to do that?

Rim size Question - Motegi Racing MR125 rims (tire size 215/45 – 17)

Application – 2002 Honda Civic SI EP3 with Koni Yellow and Eibach Pro-Kit or

I have examined various wheel\tire websites for Motegi Racing MR125 rims. The sites indicated that 17X7.5 size would fit on a 2002 Honda Civic SI EP3 with offset of 42.

I am concerned with (tire size 215/45 – 17):
1. Wheel Rub?
2. Wheel protruding outside the wheel well?
3. The wheel gap between the tire and fenders will be tight with the Pro-kit (expectation)?

Thanks in advance?

I ran 17x7.5 +40 with a slightly wider then normal 225/45 (they were Falken rt615's). No protrusion what so ever with them, if anything i wanted them to be closer to the fender. I honestly can't remember if i rolled my fenders before or after i got the wheels on there, but i do remember never having any issues. And with a 215 tire you should be more then ok.

I second that. That's a pretty mild setup. In fact I have just about the same thing on my car right now. You aren't going to have any issues whatsoever.

So I'm getting the Azenis 615's as my next tire.

What is a decent track size tire on a 17x7.5 +35
Or possibly a 16x8 +25

These are going to be track only.
They are also going to be the Azenis as I am getting a deal on those tires specifically.

I mostly do just time attack at Adams Motorsports in Redlands, CA
Also mountain/ canyon runs on Glendora Mountain Road.

225/45/17. Get Direzza Star Specs. They're cheaper and better tires.

http://www.vulcantire.com if you still want the falkens

[02TWSI]

Falkens rt615 are a great tire. You're going to love them.

The RT615Ks with the new compound are better from what I've been reading, but in the reviews most people still take the Star Specs over them.

Here you go. I really like my Kumhos but I live in a very hot and dry environment, which the Azenis don't like (they get greasy) They all look pretty good but I might try the Hankooks next.

The most recent GrassRootsMotorsports test is in the August 2011 issue and the Hankooks came out the definitive leader. Best price, too.
