Cool recently acquired 10 inch fuchs

Then it occurred to me, who makes a tire for a 16 inch fuchs with a ten inch with, I couldnt find one at the usual places except for some 245 maxes. This is for the rear of a 930. ET is in the thirties, Does anyone know of a brand or style of tire that will work ok, would really like something with a r compd. and very wide, maybe even stick out a bit... thanks for the ideas.

Hoosier makes a 275/45/16 race tire, but I don't think you will find a street legal tire for that rim width.

That's why 2-piece and 3-piece wheels made with Fuchs centers tend to be 17's. There used to be wider tires available in 15- and 16-inch sizes, but no more.

Kumho makes a 265/45-16 V700 that will fit that 10" rim and be a more suitable all-around tire than the Hoosier, though it isn't the best for rain.

Thanks all very much for the advice, I looked at the victor racers and have used them and like them very much, but admittedly, as soon as it rains, im outta there. I didnt realize that the 16 inch rim had become such a dinosaur, ..
