Of course they will I run 205 50 15's with 15x7 wheels

 

thought so

 

lol my wheel is still 15x7 and I'm running 195's A bit strectched but still works. 215 is probably ideal though.

 

Steering the car with 195 summer tires and my little MOMO steering wheel at low speed is an effort, I don't want to think about what it would be like with 215s. And then the tramlining on the highway must be a real bear with 215, although I suppose you can work with alignment to improve that somewhat.

 

i switched to a 320 D steering wheel. from a 290 i think. anyway its not that hard for me to steer

 

today was a good day for my car. half done with the front respeed coilovers, respeed BB kit, respeed camber plates and tokico whites. the hub spacer thing was too small for my spindle, so i'm waiting till tmw. gonna make a brick box and use the lower oven on our lucifer... lol i don't think it would like the 1500 furnace... then tmw i guess i'll put the brakes on then i'll try out the jeep wheels

 

Yea I recently went to a 320D from a 280/290D dont remember which, so much better and easier to steer. You can run 195's or 205's or 215's they all work fine.

 

nice wheels!!! any info on them...
edit:checked out thier site....they cost a pretty penny!!!

 

i have some 215 60 15 tires.. i might just put those on the car for now, until i get my 205 50 15. probably gonna go with 225 50 15 or 55 15 for the rear

 

hey, got a question. did you use any spacers on the front wheel?

 

jeep wheels don't work. going to put 300zx wheels for now

 

Hey perfect timing on that question, yes they fitted like a glove actually, I have about a finger and a half clearance between the springs and the rubber ... I'm getting some fresh rubber today though (195/55 15) and we'll see how that works out but should be fine. Here's some pictures:

What was the backspacing on your rims? Like I said mine were 4.5"

(RX-7 ... Because everything inbetween is trash) This is the name of this picture lol ... I think its genius








(Don't mind the guy touching the car ... he's just the crazy builder and driver )

 

lol i have that exact same jacket..

it turns out that the wheels i had looked through online were different from what i had. so the backspacing was like 5.5

If i can find those explorer wheels i'll get those, if not i'll just get some z31 300zx wheels for now.

 

Just got back from mounting my new rubber on there (195/55 R15) Sumo Akena I think is the brand ... nothing special .... but they fit fine too.

 

found the wheels, now just gotta get them to lower the price, im gonna ask for 35... they are asking 50. then i just hope everything clears... i've got stupid 215 60 15s for now

 

I don't know .. might be tight now with that size. I have about a fingers size between the springs and rubber now with the 195/55 ... so the 205/60 would make things even worse.

Are you using the stock lengths on the hub? I'm considering getting new ones about 1/4" longer pressed in because I don't think they're long enough for that rim. Another thing you could do though is send out the rims to maybe get them drilled a bit deeper. You don't need that much metal inbetween there. the only reason they're made like that is to take the load of a car that weighs about double ours.

 

ugh... i really don't want to have to press in more studs... oh well. if i can get it to work i'll just let it work. then make it prettier later

 

I have it in stock setup right now, it should be fine for street use, but if you plan on doing alot of racing with it and what not ... should be something to look into.
