I have 15x6.5 konig helium and I want to know if I can put 205/50/15 without any problems. Wheel works recommends 195/50/15 but I want it to be a little bit wider for drag racing. thanks in advance.

 

I have 205/50/15's on a 6.5" rim w/o issues.

 

it really depends on the rim, im running 205/50/15's but im on a 15X7. If i could do it over again, id probably go with the 195's, im turning into a fan of the stretched tires afterall. just my thoughts

I already am. Streched tires have a lower diameter. A 195 will be lower than a 205 and so on...

 

I am running 205 50 15 on 15x6.5 with no problem. There azenis too, so the actual tire is about 8 inches wide. There big. im not lowered though, so i dont have any issues with rubbing.

 

I've gone for more than 2 years daily driving and autocrossing with 205/50/15s on 16x6.5 heliums. It fits without an issue.

 

thanks guys, will put on 205's

what is this stretched tires???

 

when the tire walls kinda / \ on the wheel. Atleast thats what the drift guys to. They think its pretty cool. 205 Azenis on my slip. 205&gt;195. Makes the rim look deeper and has better grip.

 

really so the smaller tire gives you better grip? si that for straight line? how bout for handling?

muahahaha..... its funny you should ask.




my roommates 240
17X10" 5-zigens with 215/40/17. little bit stretched.

 

????? why would one do that????

any performance gains at all or is this just for looks?

 

when youre drifting, (which he does almost everyday) if you have a large sidewall the car can be unpredictable with the tireflex. When the sidewall is already stretched the car breaks traction easier, and is more predictable when sideways. plus it looks crazy. he can still grip turns and drag too, ran 14.2 with full interior and sounds, spinning tire through 3rd gear.

 

interesting......

 

What he said^^. Its all about drifto ****. My friend who is a Nissan Anti-ricer to the extreme hates people who have entered the Nissan world due to drifting. He said all the drift wannabes are doing the stretched tire thing now.

 

I have 195's on my heliums but would like a 205.
