LOL... Common tire I thought....Yeah you said 75 and I'm looking for that online and nobody has it LOL..

Actually I'm finding the 205 70 15 is just about the same height and just a tad skinnier and the same sidewall height...LOL... Common tire I thought....
I don't think they make a small enough tire to help a 2.76 geared car. lol a good street gear would be 3.55 0r 3.73.
@SSG_Karg
Any worries about the speed rating on those "VW" tires?
Mine are the vw tire size 16580R15 and they have been mounted on 7" rims for several years.
just had them remounted on 4.5" rims last week.
they didn't look that bad on a 7" inch rim but look much better on my new 4.5 rim.
How fast have you had em up to?
I want 100% agree. A likely doing constant speeds of like 60 miles an hour or something on the freeway but when I reach 118 or 120 it's going to be for about 3 seconds.. LOLWhen i had some 276s in the back i found some 22" tall 15" tires made by purely (spelling) that helped out a lot. It looked kinda stupid with a 26" tire up front, but it worked!
I had to go out and look at the speed rating on my front tires and then look up the rating( 118 mph)
here is why i haven't worried about the aka VW tires on my much heavier car.
The speed rating is for long distances at high speeds. The faster you go the more heat you generate and the better the tire has to be at removing that heat to live.
Yes i know centrifugal forces come into play here as well but its the heat the allows it to expand into the danger mode.
How long does a tire take to get up to max temp at 118 mph.
I don't know, but i bet it's a hole lot longer then a 1/4 of a mile.
How long are you going to maintain 118 mph with your street car/tires? if it is these skinny, i bet it's not more than a minute at max.
just my thoughts.
this is how it looked with 7" wheels

and this is with my new 4.5" wheels

These are the front wheels and tires on Jason’s car.
15 x 4.5 1.75 back space wheel with a 165/80/15.
It’s pretty tight on an early a body. We are considering a slightly shorter tire next time.

But they do fit well. Tight, but well.
That is sweet I love the stance!DIG THE CAR !!
What width rim? Witch style abody? Do you have a picture of the car to show? Thank you...
why would Jada disagree ? he probably thinks he gets better traction with shaved truck tires. lolJadaharabi you disagree?
Why would I disagree?Jadaharabi you disagree?
There I disagree.Jadaharabi you disagree?
You did disagree there fat fingers !! HahaWhy would I disagree?
All that motor your building for your Dart you're probably going to need some traction...?You did disagree there fat fingers !! Haha
Yea I know the plan is whenever I get to the point of installing my 8.8 going ahead and relocating the springs inwards and running like a 265All that motor your building for your Dart you're probably going to need some traction...?
