Tire Q.
 
Anyone ever try Euro TA 175/50r13?. Do these fit the stock rims?. What do you think they would look like on AR534s?.

I had 175/50/13s on my Chevette (I was 16, gimme a break). The sidewall is barely an inch tall. It'd make your car look like a 4x4 with all the wheelwell gap.

Lol with your mods you'd be spinning your tires in 5th gear. Seriously though, 175's are ridiculous for a sports car.

I have 3 inches up front, I would be like an inch off the ground if I got those for my car. lol

Well I got a good deal on them today, and im gonna mount one tomarrow to see how it looks on the car. Im curently running 205/60r13s and there is way too much sidewall and they look like shit!. So GIVE ME A BREAK!, my car would beat the shit out of most of yours!.

The one that you dont even have the engine built for? Sure Bob.

tires are not where you want to skimp on your car. After all, they're the only thing holding you to the road.

I'd get some larger wheels and tires in my opinion.

They're too small to hold the car up - you'd need like 50psi in them, and traction would be nonexistent.

Besides looking goofy as all hell, and the fact that you'd need to replace them and the rims constantly from bump damage... the sidewall is about the same as a 205/40 but you'd have a much smaller diameter, so it would hit bumps harder. (ever try to ride a skateboard on a gritty road?)

hey man chill out, if you read the rules there is no name calling. this is your offical warning non-warning warning:D

btw 205/60 are not way too much for the stock + rims plenty of room so you dont scratch them up
