Want pics: 185/70 tires on 15x7 wheels
Don't respond to this thread to tell me how idiotic it is to put 185s on 7" wheels. But if you have pics, please fire away!
For full context, I picked up some wicked looking 15x7 wheels with a bit if an offset challenge. I am trying to figure out if it is worth the trouble to see if stock sized tires are worth the trouble, as they might fit.

Hi Kenik,
It is not idiotic at all. It is the size that Porsche fitted to the front of the Carerra 3.2 on 7" rims. Don't have pics however. |

George, good to hear from you. I know Peter Morgan's book even documents this fact, but you know that the peanut gallery, not forewarned, will get off track talking about maximization of contact patch, etc.

Well in my case, when the tires will be the factor limiting my speed, I will upgrade. In the meantime, original sizes suit me very well.
