New Wheel/Tire Size thread

[black05ep]

yea i was thinking of going with 215 but on some neogen. yes my car is pretty low right now, I am getting out of the hellaflush scene for something a little more functional. Really miss driving the ep through twisted back road. I think the wheel are a 35 offset if that help.

Just got some neogens. Theyre beefy. 2254517. Beefier than my 2254517 bridgestones i had.im lowered about 2" upfront and no rubbing so far. Need to lower the back more but at 1.5" no rubbing yet.

ok I'm looking at buying some Rota Grid 4x100 16x8 +10 offset 57.1 hub bore. Will I have any fitment issues, and what tire should I use? Kinda looking for a low pro. stretch.

edit: I just looked and they have a +20 offset as well but, the hub bore is larger. (67.1)

you will have a lot less modding to do with the +20. Yet you will still have to roll your fenders for both so it really depends how aggerssive of a look you want.

Roll fenders, and will need a tire size of like 195/40 or 195/45 if they make it. But yeah you will have fitment issues without rolling and a camber kit.

can/should I run something larger than 225/50/16 on a 16x6.5 +45?

[powdbyrice]

no too much sidewall.

Dont quote me on this but i think if you are gonna try and fit a 225 on a 6.5 in wide rim you are going to need a real small sidewall like 225/35. Because a 6.5 is gonna make the tire "bubble" out more since in theory a 225 is to big for a 6.5. 225 is for more like a 8in rim i believe.

Dont quote me tho lol, maybe someone with more experience can tweek my statement a lil

someone is running 225s on stock 02-03 6 wides, so you may be able to squeeze a 235 on there. 225/50 would fit well though

This is true, I have 225/50 tires on my stock 15x6 wheels:

Interesting. I have a 04 so maybe it is a little different for our stock wheels. But glad someone could clarify

[mitchlikesbikes]

the only issue with 235s would be possible rubbing on the inner fenderwell because of the +45 offset.

I'm not sure if i would push 235's

[usedep3]

thanks for the reply guys. looks like i'm gonna go with 225's

[b_ron]

225's should look good on your Chrysler, right Heisenberg?

lol, yea 225's on the 300..

walter sold the aztec for $50 and heisenberg leased a chrysler 300c for his 51st bday.

breaking bad is an awesome show. I'm just a little worried about how Vince Gilligan will end the show and if it will live up to the awesomeness of the rest of the series.
