Max Tire Size

[t18drifts]

hay folks i have been searching the net recently trying to find what largest size of tyre a te72/t18 will handle............. For example will they handle ones that are 225/xx/xx

[ke70dave]

what do you mean handle?

 

you can fit a set of 4wd mud tyres in the boot. the 3tc will handle that fine.

 

need some more info mate!

 

what are you trying to achieve?

Why the hell would you go that large a tyre anyway? Stock size on a MA61 was 225/60 and even on the hefty Supra that was a fairly big tyre, with lots of sidewall bulge. On a Corolla, which is a significantly smaller car both in physical and visual bulk, those tyres would be possitively gargantuan, monster-truck-like even. On my KE55 I had 195/65 and even then it was rolling rally-style on stock height springs, plenty of sidewall height and a bit of bulge.

lol ok well what would be a good size tyre to go for on ma61 rims but for the time would they fit on my t18

[ke70dave]

well the ma61 wheel is 14x7" (as per the link i posted)

 

7" = 177mm or so

 

185/60/r14 is what you want.

 

most common size for 14" wheels, plenty of cheap ones available as well as some good ones.

 

no point going any bigger, its only a t18 and persumably its still 3tc, not a powerhouse so you don't need any more rubber.

 

now an excercise for you.

 

go and find a tyre diameter calculator (google it)

 

find out what size tyres come on standard t18 (don't make a new thread about it....)

 

find out the diameter difference between your standard tyre size, and the 185/60/r14. it should be minimal different, and thus your speedo should stay accurate.

 

edit:

 

did you even read the link i sent to you in your other thread?

all the info is in there, even tyre sizes. post #4 even tells you how far they will stick out compared to standard wheels/tyres.

What MA61s and 195/65/14s look like on a stock-height KE55. Feel free to delete the body and replace it with a T18 in your imagination.
