EPnick22 Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 currently running 195/50/15 tyres on 6.5j wheels with et40 offset, looking at getting some 7js with et30-35 offset, can i use the same tyres? or will i rub? getting new shocks next week so ride will be a bit firmer which might help, on stock shocks with tein 40-34mm springs and the back sits low and its soft as fuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 The perfect wheel size is considered to be 15x6.5j ET37/ET38 If you going a lower offset, this will put the tyres closer to the arch... So its hit or miss, depends how low you are! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
har-vey Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 in short yes, its the perfect size tyre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EPnick22 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 yeah thats what im running now and they look like they could fit 7s okay, but just thought id ask if its worth buying 185 tyres or something and stretching slightly? i could always roll the arches if they get a bit snug Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 go for 195/50 or 195/45 and youll be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MARC MOSS Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 When toms made the 15"new actions they made the perfect wheel for the starlet et35 6.5j a 195/50/15 was the perfect size as well... If u wanna go 7j the tyres will be fine dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 185's won't stretch dude I ran 165's on my 6.5 new actions and it wasn't stretched at all and handled like shit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
