I see what you mean. Well we’re on opposing sides on his aesthetic opinion bc I feel the white letters look pretty cool although I do like the all black look too
And here are pictures of it now.
255/60R15 & 225/60R15
The 225’s fit but are tight, as you guys said they’re close when being turned but not hitting. It may be an alignment issue, I’ll have more answers soon. But they do clear. Images attached.
So it looks like I’m going with 225’s in the front. I’m not in a place in this build where I’d consider cutting to fit a bigger tire. Thanks for everyone’s help. I’ll post pictures once the tires are on the car.
Wheels and tires should arrive by Saturday in the meantime I am looking into...
If I had known I was going to run into this situation I probably would’ve trimmed it the way you did. At this point, it’s not an option. My cars painted and this is practically the last of what’s needed. I wouldn’t mind snipping the inside lip corner if I need to but a modification like yours I...
Ok I’ll definitely make sure to do this. Thanks so much man. This thread is for dudes like me that LOVE cars but are just now learning about the ins and outs and the complexities of it all. Not to mention the amount of money it takes to get it to look good.
Ok so the tire is a little taller but not as wide. At this point I’m going to have to mount it to find out.
As for the rear wheel, I’m going with 255 so a 15x8 is best correct?
Yes small bolt front disc brakes but I am unsure of the spindles or the brake kit, my dad set that up and I’m not as well versed in this to remember.
I currently have 15x6 oem steelies for the front which I aimed to try 235’s on but will obviously do with whatever the car allows. I don’t plan...
Would customizing the backspacing on the front tires make any difference? There’s a local guy here in socal that will get the most out of backspacing by modifying the wheels. So I’m hoping that’ll help.
For the front I have the 15x6 and I planned on putting 235’s on the front, I didn’t think clearing would be a problem and yes I have disc brakes in the front. I guess I’ll have to measure the front now. Will I need 15x7 if I want to mount 235’s in the front?
