[johnbro]

What size tyres would i put on these rims
there 16" ssr's
Front: 7j +38
rear: 8j +38

They'll be going on a 180sx
23mm wider wings and 30mm rear quarters with some camber too
also what size spacers should i use


I need to get a size for my tyre guy asap so he can put them aside for me:D:D

I know that robbie I thought I'd need 30mm spacers at the rear
The reason i went for them, is for the cheap or free tyres:D

30mm spacers will just get you flush with the standard bodywork, epic 60mm spacers :D

60mm spacers:D are the threads that long

Nope :D

I could be wrong spacers and wheels i dont know much about, but a 30mm spacer on et38 will only get you too et8 afaik, good on standard body work but useless on 1/4's

thanks for your help stevo I'm rightly confused now:D:D
I really want to put quarters on the rear but looks like I won't be able too

Do not put on wide quarters with those sized wheels.

205/55 is quite balooney also on 8s, but the most common 16" part worn you'll get.

y dont u sell da 16s nd get sum man wheels ta fill da big 1/4s or keep da 16s for skiddin aswel :confused: bt buy sum man wheels nd fill dem 1/4s!!! :cool::p

[johnbro]

thanks for all the advice lads, forgot to mention the car is only for track days and i don't want to have to spend 30euro a tyre for part-worn 17's when i can get 16's for 10euro and I'll get alot for free from some tyre guys i know

I'm just going to bin the idea of the arches for a while and stick with the 16's on the back anyway to keep the cost of trackdays down so i can get more seat time:D

may look a little odd with 16's on an 180 but hopefully will be some smoke machine:cool:

[johnbro]

If i put 205 55 on 16x8 what would i put on 16x7 205 aswell or smaller??

55 sidewall is huge percentage of a 205 width tyre. balloon spec infact. there realy weak sizes no way would i put fenders anywhere near them! slam, space on standard bodywork, and driftttt!
