Rim Size/Tire size

Garagebuilt01 · February 22nd, 2011, 01:28 PM

im looking into getting summits fast-fives or jegs brand version of it but not sure what size/lug pattern to get.

fronts im thinking 15x4 with a 185/50/15
rears im thinking 15x10 with 6.5 back space with a 285/50/15

what is the bolt pattern and what backspacing do i need for the fronts.. also what size tires do you guys recommend? please give me some input! thanks

bolt pattern is 4.5 and backspacing for front you only have one option. 185/50r15 is way to small of a tire. go with either a 165/80R15 or a 165/87r15 tire

Garagebuilt01 · February 22nd, 2011, 01:42 PM

what size tire for the rears? im having trouble trying to find tire sizes

F8L GT · February 22nd, 2011, 01:49 PM

what kind of tires are you looking at running?

Garagebuilt01 · February 22nd, 2011, 02:41 PM

Street tires. Something that will get decent mileage with but ok traction. I'll have another set of rims for the rear with et streets

Garagebuilt01 · February 22nd, 2011, 04:19 PM

will a bf goodrich Radial T/A Tire
P155/80R15 work?

Garagebuilt01 · February 22nd, 2011, 09:17 PM

bump? anyone?

Getting a street tire for that wide of a rim is not too easy. Let me do some investigating to night and see what I find

Garagebuilt01 · February 22nd, 2011, 09:36 PM

i found that 155/80/15 for the fronts but dont know what size rear to run

F8L GT · February 22nd, 2011, 09:43 PM

Thats still too small for the front. Go with one of the two sizes I suggested. as for the rears. Thats what I am looking into for you. you would have lot more options in a street tread if you went 15x8

Garagebuilt01 · February 22nd, 2011, 10:24 PM

this is pretty much all i can find.. rated to 118mph

thats about all your going to get in a street tire for that size rim

Garagebuilt01 · February 22nd, 2011, 10:44 PM

alright. for a 10" rim a 275/ 285 would be what i want right?

F8L GT · February 22nd, 2011, 10:50 PM

your going to want a 26" tire that will fit a 10" rim, probably 10-12" wide sectional.

Garagebuilt01 · February 22nd, 2011, 11:00 PM

i guess if i cant find some tires for those rims i just might get some 18's or something

15 inch rim is not for a street tire, most people use 15's for the track running a slick.

You can put street tires on 15" wheels. No problem with it

Garagebuilt01 · February 24th, 2011, 12:25 AM

ya those fronts arent bad..but finding rear tires..i guess i might just have to get some 17s.car goes to paint this tuesday..mineral grey here it comes... i was thinking some anthracite fr500 rims would look good.. 17x9 fronts with 245/45/17 and 17x10.5 rears with 315/35/17
