86 Carrera....tire size options?

[73pcar]

According to TIRE RACK, there are just two offerings for the stock 15" front and rear tire sizes. I'm sure some PELICANs have already done this and hopefully you can share your knowledge as to what larger width and change in aspect ratio in size 15" tires will still fit the factory rims and ride height and not cause any interference issues. Hopefully going up in size will yield more choices. I understand if I went to 16" rims there would be a lot more choices, but I'd rather keep the 15s. Thank you

As you might imagine, this has been hashed through a few times (or so) - a search of the archives for “15 inch tire size” I found this What to do very few 15 inch tires avaliable anymore pretty recent/good discussion - best o luck!

Depends on the wheel width.

do you have 6 & 7 x15 or 7 & 8 x15?

Thank you guys, and I did think of doing a search - but only after I had posted my question. Thank you for the link...very helpful!
