What size tire for a 15 X 7.5 wheel?
Seems 205/50/15 would be about the minimum, but decent tire choices become somewhat limited in the 15" range.
These will be for the track, and light summer use if necessary.

I've driven the 032R's, but was considering something more "race" oriented. TIA
Also have a fresh set ao the 205/50/15 Azenis sitting (unmounted) in my appt,
but they're for my stock CW ITR wheels (the 032R's on there are finally almost done).

 

is this 15x7.5 for the R or standard EG/DC cars? what offset did you get?

 

I haven't gotten them yet!
But I've sold my GM ITR rims, and I'd like to replace them with these.

I spoke to someone at Tirerack late last year, and they are one of the two sizes (15X7.5 or 17X7.5) available for an ITR (DC2).
205 seems a little narrow, since I'm running those on my stock 15 X 6 rims now.
Just wondering what's appropriate performance wise, and don't want to have any rubbing probs (or have to roll fenderlips ..)

I don't remember which offset, will probably call them when I get home.

Kumho Ecsta V700 225/45R15, I think hoosiers come in this size also. Depending on offset, it'll be tight squeeze in the rears w/ this size.

Thanks Yoshi.

IF I've got to go to work, ... I'm surely going to have some fun when I play!

 

A 205 tire will fit good on that rim. I just got a set of SSRs in that exact size and that's what tire I plan to put on it.

 

Thanks Todd,
Guess I shouldn't be too greedy .. and try to stuff some 225's on there!

Anything else I should know about these?

 

I IM'd you back.

 

... plus they've got the subtle *bling, bling* effect going for them too (as well as supposeadly only weighing 9.2 lbs!)

Yes, thanks for the IM
Maybe get together some time (emergency ITR mini-meet?) when I'm back in Ohio some weekend.

definatly stuff some 225's on there.... roll the fender's and be done with it..

D

 

A few of the people here have been talking about an Ohio meet for a while, so perhaps one is in order for this spring...

 

I run Kuhmo 205/50-15s on my SSR Comps.

 

205/50 is perfect. I like Bridgestone S-03's or Toyo Proxes T1-S.

 

Thanks guys!
Will probably stick some 205/50/15 032R's on there, before tyring to fill the fenders with the 225's.

 

zygspeed, post some pics when you get em on..ive been wanting to do the same mod for ahwile now..ssr comps

 

Ed, try the new Kumho Estca tire. I hear they are far better than the AO32Rs. Plus they are cheaper

Oh I do have a set of used hoosier R3S03 in the garage. $200 and they are yours

If you like the T1-S it also comes in a 215/45/15 which might be the perfect size for an ITR with 7.5 wide wheels. Just stirring the pot

 

That's why I'm asking the question.

Thanks Bryan.
