Hey all, I was wondering if 225 size tires on the rear of my S13 would be too wide. I'm running 205's in the front, but couldn't find the other matching two...(i got these tires free from a shop.)
Thanks for the help

 

What rims?

 

too wide for what is the question

 

yes please more info so that i may flame you.

 

Sorry, would they be too wide for the wheel well? They would go on 15x7 rims.

 

offset and suspention mods

 

they'll look sloppy. I think 225 is to fat for 7's.

 

I am just going to use the for autox though, do you think they would still be too sloppy? Thanks for the help guys!

 

FLAMER, FLAME ON!


i'm running:

215/40/17 Front
225/45/17 Rear

on 17x7s

 

Sloppy??

I'm running 225s on my 6.5" stockers...and they look the same as the factory 205s.

 

eww, gross. too bubbly. If i have to get new tires for my stocks i'm goin 195/50.

 

wow 225...the most i would go is 205

 

The tire will roll over and result in understeer from what I have been told from two very knowledgable people.

 

correct, you have soo much excess rubber that it rolls and flexes. Just because you get wider tires on your stock wheels, doesn't mean your going to get more traction.

And it doesn't look pretty at all....

 

well it also depends on the tire is self
some have stiff side wall while others dont
