Wheel Size!

ymerej47 · October 11th, 2007, 11:44 AM

I just wanted to know whats the biggest rim
you can fit under those fenders? I'd like to fill them in. (89 Hatch)
I really want Cobra R's even if tons have em......just
I can only find 17x9's and those are pretty big
also Isn't 9 inches = 228mm? if so would I use 225 or 230?

17X9s are fine

TurboLX · October 11th, 2007, 04:11 PM

the biggest you ca go on stock suspension is 20's for real

ymerej47 · October 11th, 2007, 10:58 PM

What's the widest tire I can fit front///rear
without having turning clearance problems
cuz the set of CobraR's Im gonna get are 17x9 all the way around
and their cheap so I can just replace the front 2 to like 16x8 or something

rears you can go all the way up to 325's but you got reverse the qaud shocks and roll the qaurters out

im not to sure about fronts

i have 225's in the front and the rub when you turn

my buddy has a nicely sized set of tires on his car and has no clearance
problems. Even with the car lowered.I will find out what size hes got on
his pony

Ya that would be awesome if you could. Thanks!

How bad do they rub? Is your car lowered cuz I plan on doing that also
If it is minor I'll try to stretch a tire on the rim, I'll try a 205 first then a 215
I watched a guy stretch a 175 onto a 195 rim at work
and I asked him about tires and such I also asked you guys to so..I got the best. :wink

my buddy is runnin on 245/50 with 16 rims. two inch drop in the front
and 1.5inch drop in the rear. Great stance. looks like he has no clearance
for the front tires but he has full movement without them rubbing at all.

TurboLX · October 12th, 2007, 06:47 PM

they dont rub unless you turn the wheel real wide

i orderd new tires

275 rears 235 fronts

-cold-machine- · October 12th, 2007, 06:53 PM

245-50 all around aint rubbing a bit

ymerej47 · October 12th, 2007, 11:52 PM

sweet thanks!
I made my decision
17x9 rim becuz theyre cheap and i can replace the front with 16x8
when i get the money lol
except instead of putting a 225 or 230 on them ill stretch a 205 or 215 on
I think that'll be enough to clear the fenders
