and then once you figure all that out, you then realise that not all 195/50/r15's are the same!

 

i just got some federal 595 RSR-s, and they appear to be quite a bit wider than the kumho's i had on there. the kumhos sat flush with the rim (7" rim) where as the federal's are a bit proud of the rim (more of a bulge, opposite to stretch?). both tyres are 195/50R15.

 

not that it botheres me i have oodles of room in the ke70 guards, but if your right on the limit of fitting, some tyres will scrub and others wont!

i was always tempted to cut out the factory arch and weld on some flared ke70 arches to a ke10 - ke20.. i reakon it'd turn out alright

some newer types of tyres are coming out with a rim protector manufactured into the walls of the tyres as well which can make a difference as well

can anyone tell me how these would go on a ke20? I obviously have no idea about offsets etc..

Usually with wheel nuts.. shiny ones ;) sorry could help myself

These are the wheels on my car or reference

13x6 +10 front 175 60

 

13x7 +10 rear 175 60

They sit pretty flush with the guards

Hey wagn, I was wondering where u got those rims from?? Iv been searching everywhere for a set like those but can't only find then as 15x8...

 

I managed to get 225/40/16's on the rear of my 20 never scrubbed in normal driving except turning up steep driveways (25* or more) think the fronts were 205/45/16 but not real sure they did however find the guard once before I got them rolled (good ol baseball bat) 16s look huge on a 20 but do fit well if you get the right offset etc but in hindsight in prob go back to 15" rims so much easier and cheaper to get good quality tyres

What offset are the rims?

I have 14x8 +11 with 195/45/14 on the back of my 25 and they sit nicely inline with standard guards. 14x7 on the front that fit with a bit of camber dialed in.

 

I want to run 15x9.5 wheels once I have my te27 flares installed but I'm unsure on tyres because 195/50's would be too stretched. Anyone ran anything like this before?

hey, has anyone ran 195/45/15s with 0 offset, all round on a ke20 with out flares and had and scrubbing issues?

 

let us know :)

hey just wondering if anyone has ran a set of 195/45/15s with 0 offset on a KE20, and had any issues with scrubbing on factory wheels arches with out flares
