tire size..

Iownastang · February 1st, 2009, 11:28 PM

Ok today i finally put my fenders on.. i will post some pics of it tmrw afternoon after i pull it out of the garage.. Its about time this thing is finally coming together..

Ive got a question if you were going to run a 15x4 in the front what size tire would you run? Im just a little worried a 165 is going to be a little to small to drive it on the road alot..

casper gt · February 1st, 2009, 11:42 PM

165's will be fine (only realistic choice for 15x4 anyway). if your worried about it alot, 15x6 with 215/65r15's work very well on a fox also.

what i thought about was going to a 15x5 with a 205/70

they may work also. I threw out the 15x6/215 thing cause I have a buddy with that set up on his '92 & it woks well for him. if it was me I'd go with the 15x4/165 but I dont do alot of street driving on any of my "special" cars (1123mi. last year on my 2000 mostly at the track aprox. 300 passes)

I think i may go with the 185/65's but im pretty sure i will haft to run a 15x5 wheel, or do you guy think it would be possible to still run a 15x4?

Here are pics of a 205 65 15 on a 15 x 5

They look a little too big IMO

93mustank · February 5th, 2009, 12:27 AM

It would be a lot sexier if the pops would give it up..... Think it has been on the road three times

You can shove the 185 on a 15 x 4 they'll just bulge a little bit

The stickers are still on tires, someone needs to drive that car

342pony · February 5th, 2009, 09:45 AM

I always ran the 165s on a 3.5 inch rim...

coreyflipp · February 5th, 2009, 09:54 AM

15x6 with 195/65/15 is on my car and they look really good

superbean · February 5th, 2009, 12:07 PM

Do you drive the car on the street alot?

skinnies up front suck if you drive it more than once a week..

I would go with a 185 on a 4in rim. It will bulge a little, but a 165 is just honda civic skinny, come on.

93mustank · February 5th, 2009, 01:27 PM

I run skinnies on my daily driver....I have no problems
