    Well eh..15" inch tyres.
    195/50 probably.

    About 60 or so each.

    15" Obviously :L

    Depends on the original overall wheel size on your car so you dont upset the speedo.

    What car you want to put them on?

    Most 15" aftermarket wheels would be 195 in width but you can obviously get thinner 185 or 165 and give a little stretch :P (wouldn't advise it if its a runaround though!)

    Profile should be 45 but again depends on the car and what is actually available here.

    Price wise its all down to what tyres you want

    Premium/Budget Etc.

    Best bet is to find out what size you actually need/want and get a quote from a website or ring up a suppliers!

    The max tyre width for a 15" x 6" wide rim is appears to be 205.
    If stock tyre size is 195 x 65 x 15
    The new 205 tyre needs to be 205 x 60 x 15 (according to: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html and http://www.tyres-pneus-online.co.uk/equivalency-tables-advice.html)

    Find out how wide are them wolfrace alloys and go from there.

    If it suits your car id run 195/55/15 tyres in this range seem to be alot cheaper ;) Camskill were doing toyo T1Rs for 29 pound a tyre in this size, good tyre for the money

    Thats my tyre size, are they the Proxy's? That is good value if it is

    my bad i meant to say 195/50/15 the difference in the two is minimal on the road but the price difference is crazy, take T1R`s im 55`s they are 46.10 pound a tyre and in 50`s they are 29.10 pound a tyre!!! huge difference.

    Im recommended 55`s but i run 50`s on my EK4 with no noticable

    ya ok thanks lads. can i make the alloys 4x100 as they are 4x108 and wont fit my starlet


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,462 ✭✭✭projectgtr


    you can get them re-drilled but tbh unless they are something rare id just sell them and buy another set, lots of 4x100 wheels out there ;)

    Starlets normally have 155 or 165 13" wheels, so I doubt 195/55 15 will be good.

    Must look into that, I've 195/50/R15's on...

    You're too lazy to sell them, but not to re-drill them which is a lot more work?

    its not worth the hassle tbh, plus imo it would have to weaken the wheel. Just sell and buy simples, dont make things difficult for yourself
