What size tires did you mount on your deep 6's?

Title says it all...

Pictures would be nice too!

Thanks,

Is this on a narrow body?

205/60/15 size tire? All four corners?

Modifications needed any where? Rubbing, bumps and etc?

Speedometer is correct?

These are going on a narrow body car.

somehow the PO fitted the car with 215/60/15's no rubbing, fenders not rolled.

It's time for new tires and I am not finding a lot of choices for "V" rated tires in a 215/60/15, plus I'm not really thirlled by the buldgy apperance of the 215's mounted on such narrow wheels.


This might be usefull for those concerned with speedo changes and tire size.

It all depends what you are looking for in performance and appearance. I have 195/65 on mine. It is the closest to stock 185/70 that you can buy short of getting Coker Michelins XWX 185/70.

is this for a street tire? then pretty much any "reasonable" sizes fit

I've tracked 225/50's on 'regular' sixes before
