hi guys,

 

just wondering what width tyres you guys are running?

 

i got a set of 16" rims sitting at home and the tyres i tried on them were 205/55/16s and they don't fit the car as it hits the struts. Was advised 205/45/16s will fit is that true? or do i have to go 195/45/16s?

 

cheers,

205's are pretty big for a ae92.

 

Whats the width and offset of your rims ?

 

I'm running 15x6 on my ae82 twincam with 195/50/r15 and they are close to the struts but not touching, Offset of mine is +40.

umm considering the rims are off a lancer I'm guessing +35 or +40

 

yeah ive just remember reading it somewhere someone running 205's.

 

but yeah i think i will just stick to 195/45/16s

205's are pretty big for a ae92.

 

really???(not really) considering my hatch and seca have both had 205/45/16's under the guards at once stange in there life (with out needing the guards rolled)

 

offset should be between +38 and +42

hi i have a sx seca..i had 17" 205's and they used to scrub heaps.. i now have 16" with 205 , 45 87w all tho it had heaps of body roll until i ungraded the suspention. and sway bar.

cheers thanks for that.

where was it scrubbing? guards, bottom of the spring seat, or on the side of the strut?

 

yes well body roll will happen with crapped out old suspension :) i have very little atm and all i have done is replaced the the struts and springs with the items from my hatch (items were less than a year old)

i am running 17's with a 205/40 they fitted just fine (on my SX hatch) when i had the Continentals on.. now i am running Nexen 3000's and they have a slightly wider shoulder... they rubbed on the strut tower so i am running a 4mm spacer now... thus had to get my guards rolled. BOO!
