Wheel/tire size

[whitewabbit]

I found a set of 15x8 with a +15 off set.What would be my best bet, 205-50 or 195-50?

195's are prollie going to have to be streached, which if you like the look, is great. 205's I thing will rub on a cabby. I have them on my rocco, but I don't know how they would do in the cabby wells.

From what I've read, a width of 8 or above may require fender rolling, no matter the tire.

I can see fender rolling you you are planning on dropping the car down, but at stock height and using 15's, keep the profile to 50 or 45 and you shouldn't need to roll the fenders. Now at 8", you might want to get some spacers and go for the whole streach and poke look

I'm really building the cabby for my 16yr old daughter,I just want it to look really nice.I don't want them to rub.

I use 15X8 for my winter tires with 195/50/15s on them, they rub a little if I have people in the back. My summer wheels are 17s with 205/40/17s and they rub about the same amount. I also have Shine Racing System springs all around with Boge turbos so results may vary.

I have 14 inch rims they have 185/60r14 tires. I want a all terrain tread and found some in 195/70r14 do you think they will fit?

Check the cabby-info.com site, I do believe they will rub the inner fenders and possible the outer ones on a tight turn.

In spite of Brian's collage, my 17's look great. Pffffflllllltttttt!
The 195/70/14's will work fine. That is stock wheel size for
Mk3's and get swapped around routinely up here.
Hey Brian....you take pictures of your Mom with that camera?

Not any more since shes dead. Oh, BTW I got that link from the wonderous KAMMY. So if it is on Kammy's site it can't be sexist.

Oooh, my bad....Sorry to hear about your Mom.

I have met several fantastically sexist females and they are
to be commended.

My apology for hijacking this thread, back into hibernation I go.

All in good fun.... I can even get my kids with that that isn't nice, you know that your "Grandmother Grandfather mom/dad " is dead as a fill in thin the blank.....

I just wish I had the time to get my cars new top on, but no..... I have to wait..... oh and getting a JOB is a top priority....
