is it silly to slap a 195/45/15 drag radial on a 15x8 +25 to keep a lil go with the show?? :D~~

does it fit.. even tho its stretched? ty ~~axis

 

You didn't specify the vehicle it's going on, nor any suspension modifications to merit fender clearance.

 

yup your right mm..93 civic and some adjustables

I would like to know more then anything if stretching a drag radial is a bad idea compared to stretching a street tire.

I dont know what tires are used to drift. maybe that would help :x

 

Go by the manufacturer's specs. Tire manufacturers test their tires and specify a range of approved rim widths for them. If the rim is wider than the approved rim width, don't use it (especially for a drag radial).

What kind (make/model) of tire is it? (I looked up the BFG and the Nitto NT555R and didn't see that size listed.)

You want drift tires on a FWD platform? Did I get that right?

Anyways, drag radials are extremely soft compound tires, and drifting tires are extremely hard compound tires.

Those aren't drag radials.

The Proxes T1-R is approved by Toyo for mounting on rims 6.0-7.5 inches wide. So no, I would not mount them on 15x8 rims.

And I wouldn't mount those crappy Nexen tires on ANY rims. Ever.

Let me guess - you bought 15x8 rims without having any idea what kind of tires would fit on them, or whether tires that fit on them would be a good size for your car. Am I close?

 

prety close mr tire man

&gt;&lt; many civic 15x8 roll with the unapproved proxes..

can somebody answer the drift question..?

are there approved stretched tires ? 195//

yeah..nexan tires wont stretch..get tires that already have some sort of a stretched look to them..like falken ziex (crappy tires also but will stretch a bit) i don't recommend this setup for everyday driving but if you must do it then yes, it will work on 15x8 +25 offset, rolled fenders and maybe slight camber w/ teh perfect ride height will do the trick....but wont feel too good while riding all over the bumpy roads and potholes.

 

ooo thx for the input :D~~

i would like to try it out .. ill think bout the tires ..eh
