If you have standard 9s in the back, what size are your tires?
 

Mine look skinny compared to some other car pics here on the forum. I know the rims are 9s, so I may go up one size next time if possible. I think mine are P245-45-16s. :confused: Then again, different brands of the same size tires can look fatter or more aggressive depending on the tread.

I have 245/45/16s in the back. I don't know if there is any larger size.

me 2
 

245 45 16's

+1 That's the stock size.

I think that's the widest you can get in 16", though I have seen 265/40 in some R-compound tires (V710/RA-1 I think).

Meatier is Better!!
 

Maxx1,

I agree,

The 45 series look too skinny.

I ran 50 series, which looked meatier and complimented the 225 50's up front.

Best of luck

Maybe that is what I saw .... it was an ebay 930 rear shot. I'll try and post it.

Hard telling.... he may have fatter rims ....... :o

I'm gonna guess that those are probably 17's or 18's.

I run 245/50/16 in the rear (10") and 225/50/16 in the front (8").

They were Fuch or maybe Fuch clones in a 17 :o .... that would explain it.

50s would be a little taller as well. Do you like your gearing with those, or can you even notice it? They look good.

How about 315s ?

How about......
 

I think I need a moment alone after seeing those 315's!! NICE!

My speedo is off about 10mph after 50 but other than that, no problem

I need to change my underwear now.:D

Girly men.
How about 345s?

For more info, see the September issue of Excellence Magazine pg 108.

Maxx1,

Since your are running factory 9's in the rear...I would recommend you go with 245 50's. The will not make your tires look wider. they will be taller from the side view.

Best of luck again,

Paul

How about a sound clip of that Ruf exhaust?
 

Hey Mark McGarry,

How bout you let us hear that Ruf Exhaust. I have not heard one of those in years. As I recall...that is a $3000 muffler.

Very nice....

Let us hear it...

Paul

:eek:


ARe those 17s or 18s?

315's rear for me, but ditching the stock flares for '75 RSR vented rear quarters. Going to call AVON after that :) Sorry about the crappy pic

Maxx - those are 15s on my old '73 widebody. Yokohama 345/35-15 rear on 12x15 Fuchs.
Front was 255/45-15 on 9x15 Fuchs. Those tires sizes are no longer available.

Paul, sorry no sound clip....it does have a nice sound with the cams.

Brian - haven't seen Supertrapps for a while! They always seemed a bling-thing. Happy with the performance?

345/15's were on older Countach's as well, I think... massive!

I miss that car. I had the 2.4 rebuild with Webers. Put the supertrapps on so I could tune it from both ends. It was a light loud fun little go cart. Lots of fun to auto-X.
The Countach ran Pirellis of the same size but actual measurement was 3/4" more narrow than the Yokos I ran.
