4parajon Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 Will 205's look gay on this size of rim or will they need to be 235's say??? Thanks
Admin Mk2Jo Posted June 1, 2009 Admin Report Posted June 1, 2009 I'm sorry, I don't have an answer for your question but you really shouldn't use "gay" and "rim" in the same sentence Hopefully someone will have a sensible answer for you
Admin Vista Posted June 1, 2009 Admin Report Posted June 1, 2009 Depending on profile they'll be a little stretched on an 8 J rim. You're talking 13" right? and what profile are you proposing? Check out page 2 of the tyre bible it has useful tyre size comparators and rim width calculators for different tyre sizes http://www.carbibles.com/tyre_bible_pg2.html
richie_stix Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 depends on if ya wana a little stretch on those bad boys? but on 13's i would say maybe a 215 (if such a tyre exists) as 205's will be a little tyrestretch.com!
Dazav8 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 ive got 205 60 13's on 8j rims, a little stretched dont look to bad. ideally id like 215 50 13's but cant afford them! 205 60 13 on 8j rim.
Anglia68 Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 I've got 185/60 x 13's on the 8" rims on the back of my Anglia and they look very silly. I'll be fitting 205's before it hits the road though.
4parajon Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Posted June 1, 2009 Sorry all, its on 15's not 13's although that should'nt make a difference should it??? The tyre I would choose would ideally have a 45 profile to match the fronts.
MightySprocket Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 205s with 45 profile are going to stretch (a bit like your t-shirts )
MK1_Warnzee Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 Ive got 175/50s on mine. Probably not a good idea if you intend to track your car though!
MightySprocket Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 Ive got 175/50s on mine. Probably not a good idea if you intend to track your car though! no not great for handling, does goldmember have 195 45 13s on 8s?
vibrating_Cake Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 i'd say 215's although 8" rims, i wouldnt really go for 235's.... personally lol. 225's would sit just nice! i had 195/45r15 on 7j rims... they looked a bit too streched, 215's are slightly over... lol you can never win, so i'd say 225's or at least 215's on 8j rims =) cause ur tracking it of course!
filicapri Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 215/50R13 on 8J they look a bit chunky Better pic
4parajon Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Posted June 1, 2009 Ive got 205's on mine now and they look fine but I'm going wider hence the question
MightySprocket Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 bigger contact area but will they suffer roll?
Admin Vista Posted June 1, 2009 Admin Report Posted June 1, 2009 If they're 15's Jon then I'd consider 225/50/15 or 225/45/15 but there aren't many manufacturers making the 45 profile one I don't think.
PIG Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 205/45 on the front and 215/40 on the back you manc bitch .call me tomorrow about them m8
4parajon Posted June 1, 2009 Author Report Posted June 1, 2009 Sprocket - me or the tyres Vista - Cheers P.I.G -
MightySprocket Posted June 1, 2009 Report Posted June 1, 2009 reminded me of a joke have you ever had oasis soup?" "you get a roll with it" sorry jon thread hijack
sambo Posted June 2, 2009 Report Posted June 2, 2009 got 205/50 16's on my 16x8" wheels John. Fits nice mate, no bulging or stretching at all.
