15" Tyres On A Ke20

Recommended Posts

anyone here running 15" rims on a rolla?

 

i bought an n13 pulsar with 15" rims and rooted rubber.. just wondering what profile i'd need to fit under the guards... would tubbing be mandatory?

 

i don't really want super low profile tyres cos I'm cheap, i think they have 185/50 r15's on em now... would they fit? (i have early hubs for now so i can't try yet otherwise i would) and anyone know a rough price per tyre???

 

 

cheers,

rob

 

p.s. would the offset screw me?? or would it just stick out of the guards heaps??

Mazda 626 rims fit on ke20's as I have a set on one of mine, but they are 13's. :dance:

 

yea, I'm rockin the 626 stockies at the moment, i love the chrome rings! i just figured they'd either be 4x100 (not likely?) or 4x114.3 (more likely?)

and ive got parts for my ke70 front brake conversion on the way...

 

offset would be a bitch i suppose... fwd rims on a rwd are a definite no go then??

Maybe Rob74 doesn't have a tape measure............

:dance:

 

 

the pcd of the rims is a moot point seeing as i can use either the early (4x100) hubs or the later (4x114.3)..

what i WAS asking was what profile tyres would i need to put 15"s on a ke20

i know now they wont fit because of the offset (not the pcd) but if i find a set that do fit...

 

thanks for mocking me anyway though

 

cheers,

rob

I'm good at mocking. :dance:

 

I've run 185/60-14's on Dwarf. 14x6 rims, Mazda offset. You could easily run 185/55-15's, possibly even 195's.

 

185/50-15's would be actually very close to the right rolling diameter.

 

Does this help?

Falcon ziex in 195/50/15's cost me $75 each new from kieth for wheels but they follow the ruts in the road, Good wet weather tyre though.

 

Bridgestone tend to have a stronger sidewall than other brand, Pricks to get on rims if they are 35 or 40 too because they don't stretch much. Yokohama C drive are a reasonable tyre and are somewhat cheap.

I've got 205/50/15's in the back and 135's up front right now but soon to be 185/60/15's up front since I drive this on the street.

hehe, ive since found 6 jellybean mags... 2 of em are super fat, theyve got like 220s on em!! tyres arent allowed to stick out past the guard are they??

i think they look stupid when they do anyway but i work with what ive got!

 

what would 6 jelly bean mags be worth? the 2 super fat ones have 5 "beans" and the other 4 have 6 "beans" and 1 of them is a size between the two fat ones and the other three? I'm guessing i have 3 6 inch rims, 1 7 inch rim and 2 8 inch rims?? any expressions of interest in em??

 

and i swapped the pulsar with the 15's for a GA galant... so that sorta explains why ive lost interest in the rolla for the time being when i can put a 2.6 in the galant for $100 :sob:

 

(and the jellybeans came with the galant but theyre 4x100 so they only fit the rolla (galants 4x114.3))

 

whats a good profile to run on 14's thats not too exspensive?? i have a set of 14" scorpion alloys lying around just waiting for rubber..

 

cheers,

rob
