M&H 24.5x8.5x15 on stock integra rim 15x6


talking with exospeed and they say it wont work...im looking into getting a set of slicks and am on a limited budget(no lenzo's) so I wanted to use stock integra rims as many others do...are there any problems anyone has run into doin thus?

 

They work but are not ideal. If you're on a budget, get some 15x8" sportmax 002 or something.

 

lol good luck, there are a set of drag wheels i saw 13x8 brand new 330 shipped, nice wheels too

 

Get Greg Welds. its like $130 each (polished) 15x8's

 

How much power are you making, and what tranny?

 

what bolt patterns do they have? I was on their site and I highly doubt they have anything in a 4x100 bolt pattern. I could be wrong but looks like it's 4x4.25/4.5 only

 

The general rule on a slick is to get it as close to the tire width or at most about 1.5".
In a case of an 8.5" wheel with a 6" rim, the difference is 2.5"

Now think of how the tire bead sits on the rim at 6", When the tire is on low pressure, the only contact patch on the tire will be the center part of the tire. The lower the tire pressure, the less it has contact on the full surface of the tire.

Thats why I said, dont use the 15x6 on an 8.5" wide tire. .5-1.5" wont make much of a difference most setups, but 2.5" will make a huge difference on efficiency of the tire.

 

they will work but not ideal

 

i would never go an less than 15x7 on a 8.5 tire

 

i have a set of 24.5x8x15s on stock 02 civic wheels (i think thats the year), and they are NOT ideal .

i'm pulling them off to put them on wider wheels. got them from a buddy.
