Wings West RS or Mugen (WW is a mugen knockoff)

There's no way those tires are 205/50-15

here's a pic of 205's on my car:


the tires in the 1st post look like the bow out much more.. i'd guess 215 atleast

You think so? On Rotas and with the car that low? I'm not saying you're wrong, but very few people with cars that slammed can afford to run 215 width tires for any length of time, especially on a front-drive car. I can't see your car well enough to compare, by the way .

to be totally honest, i dont think youll get the exact size. its all a guess really. ive worked with tires full time for quite awhile and i still wont say for sure, but i also think they probably are 215-55-15 if not around there. i say 55 cuz to me they look like theyre bigger than 50 but i dont think theyd be 60s. again, i see tires all day long and still cant say for sure.

on closer inspection, i say you are correct .they do look aweful wide.....a lot wider than my 205/50 look!! thats probly why he rolled his fenders, if in fact he did so!

Those are 205/50/15's. They're AVS, and have wider stance than a standard street tire.

It also depends on the manufacturer of the tires.

This is a true and correct statement.

I think they are 205's cause you have to account for the angle that the picture was taken. It might give the allusion that they are really wide, but I highly doubt that they are 215. Oh and for side wall I think they are 50's. The sidewall doesn't look that much bigger then my 45's I have on my car.

It's a Wings West full RS kit.
Different style tires, have different sidewalls and thickness. 215's would be enormous in an AVS tire. Those Spoon's should be 15x6.5

good to know!

people always complain that 205's look to fat sometimes, but i never thought they did. appearantly some 205's look fat, while others look "normal".

i should take some daytime pics of my car...

Yeah, when I had Azenis, they looked bloated , but on the same wheels, when I went to Proxes 4, they were the same size, but the sidewall was much different, they looked much skinnier.
