205 tires on fb
 

Hello all, I do see that many people fit 205 series tires on their fb wheels. I am looking to get a little more detail as to if they will clear the stock strut and springs. I would be getting 205 race rubber like Toyo r888 or Hoosiers. There seems to be so little clearance even with 185 rubber. Any experience is greatly appreciate. Thankyou!

the limited edition and GSL-SE both came with a 205 stock, so it can be done. although since hoosiers run wide, it might be better in a 195

I'm running 215/50-13's on my 83, 205's should be fine.

Great. Thanks for the help guys! I will be getting 205 R888 to run on my stockers.

I've run 215s on stock rims on my '85 GS. I run 225 Hankook race rubber on 13x8 wheels, but that's with coilovers now although I'm pretty sure they'd fit on stock suspension too with the correct wheel offset etc.

I fit the 205/60r13 Toyo r888s on and they just fit on the stock wheels with stock suspension. I will check them after some driving and racing for strut rub when they flex. Thankyou for all the help

any pics of these on your SE?

I do not have an SE. Here are the 205s on an otherwise stock GS

The Stock SE size 205/60-14's are almost impossible to find anymore. I've only found one Chinese Brand.

Falken makes them. do some digging and you'll find them. damn good tire too. had a set last me a good long while.:icon_tup:

As a note. I have been very happy with the r888s. They are a very durable race tire

Lol @ tires lasting a while! I stopped trying to get good tires in either 13 or 14 inch sizes years ago. Hell, even 15's are getting shoved out of the market. Only thing saving us on that is that the NSx came with 205/50/15's stock on the front, and those guys cry louder than we do ....
