Default 15x8 wheels on front of EF

I was just wondering if anyone has been able to fit a 15x8 inch wheel on the front of your EF.

Also I'm thinking of trying to shoehorn a 205/50/15 tire on them.

Let me know If you have tried it.

Yes I have and it fits great. I have 205/50/15 Falken azenis. So they fit fine, if you dont have the tires yet buy these they get really good grip when they heat up.

Those tires are just OK. If you want some real fun tires that are the best by far, Try the Yokohama AO32R Hard compond and rotate them every 1000 miles and you will out corner any car on the road.

Ask anyone else in sts and they will tell you that the azenis sports loose their stick after heating up. Some people bring a garden sprayer and wet their tires to cool them off in between runs.

Damn it I forgot that 7.5 is the widest that you can run in STS.

Oh well close this thread
