Nice, what tyres di you use on the 9 x 15's and how do they fit?

[Manny]

They are 225 /50/15 Toyo's They fit really well and went on with no bother. I was going to fit 215/45/15 which would have kept the rear a little lower but I have got used to the way it look's now .

I have some 245/40/15's for my 9J 15" rims but might go for a narrower tyre on the front (9J's all round)

[Manny]

Are they road tyres. I found it hard to get tyres in that size. People told me not to put anything smaller than 225 on a 9in rim . But they went on really easy and still cover the wheel rim , I think a 215 would have looked ok as well. It depends on what make of tyre you use as well ,some stretch a lot easier than others . The Toyo's have a really soft side wall.

Yes they're road tyres, Avon CR500's.

215/45/15's on the front would match the RR on the rears to within 8mm so might be a good choice. They're recommended for between 7 & 8.5J so I'm sure could stretch to a 9J ok

Just looked at them . They have a cool looking tread pattern as well. Wish I had seen them sooner, I struggled to find the right size for mine , I could not find a wide 15in in a 35/40 profile to keep the rolling radius the same. 15in used to be a really popular size .
