tire size setup

ipang · 03-03-2006, 01:35 AM

i drive a 89 240sx
kts coilovers 8/6

15x7.0 +0 (F)
15x6.5 +34(R) 195/60/15

just wondering what would be a good tire size for the front if i wanted it setup for drifting n daily driving

i already read the the thread on truth behind stretching but there seemed to be a lot of arguments going on in there

i was thinking either 195 or 205 that wouldnt be too much of stretch would it

also i will be upgrading the rears later on to either 7.5 or 8.0 so what size will i need on the rears then

lastly im still pretty new to drifting so this setup would most likely be for low speed drifts

thanks

id just go with the stock reccomended sizes if you are still rocking 15s. i believe its 195's up front and 205 out back.

i might try 195/55/15

would 195 be too stretched if i went 15x8 at the back

also with a 15x8 ill need about +10-15 for it to sti flush?
