the link that i posted is what you need for a 79 with original running gear. I had the 59.6 I.D and the 73.1 O.D. for my 79 SA with the konig rewinds, as for the FB's im not sure if the size varies or not.

Well we are talking about less than a millimeter here, so I assume they are the same size for FB and SA. FC & FD hubs are like 67.1.
The rims would be the same, 73 no matter what you're mounting them on. That's per Hikaru at JLB Motorsports, where I bought them. But a difference of less than a mm is probably not gonna matter...

Bringing the post back!


I have been interested in a set of BF Goodrich G-force T/A KDW NT but the smallest size they come in is a 205. I drove a C6 last year that was using these tires and I like how quite, and how responsive the tires are (with out trac turned off). So I talked to discount tire and they told me to come in and do a test fit. They tested a set of Kumho 205/50/15 and when they fit with no issues they assured that the BFGs were the same size. So I ordered a set and they should be on Tuesday or Wednesday. Can't go wrong since they did a test fit and if there are any problems its there fault.

I’ll keep you guys posted. And I’ll post some pics just incase anyone may be interested.


Here is a link to the new tires

I really like the tread pattern.

Today I installed the BFGs and had no fitment issues. These 205/50/15 seem to have be a smaller wheel (might be that its more like a slick) but the width is 8.4”. Here are some pics.

225/50-15

What is needed to run 225/50-15 Kumho 710's on an SA?It looks like the issue would be the lower spring perch and the lowest one or two coils of the stock spring.
Will these issues be cleared up with the RE speed coilover kit?
I have the 15x7 Rewinds with 20mm offset which moves the tire 5 mm out.
I am running 215/50-13 BF Goodrich R1's on the waffle wheels and I have about 2mm clearance.
Anyone have good pictures of the clearance with 225's?
Or can you confirm at least 10mm clearance for the 205's?
That would indicate the 225's will clear.
