i'm buying another set of drag radials and i was wondering on which size to get
both are bfg g-force
225/50/15 or they just came out w/ 235/60/15
would the 235's fit on my rota wheels and not rub that much or would they be a bitch

 

bump
i need to find out today when i order my tires

 

the 235 60 15 is gonna be huge compared to the 225 50 15. its gonna be wider and taller

what he said,

wheels info too, like offset (spacers if your using any), and width

 

you should be able to squeeze the 235/60 on the the rim (assuming its atleast 6.5" wide) w/o any probs. but 235's wont tuck under your fenders

 

hahaha yeah
the wheels are 15x6.5 rota slipstreams
my suspension is spax rsx full coilovers and stainless lines
the main reason for these tires is because i can't afford slicks right now and my turbosetup will be on the car in about a week or 2

 

The car is going to have to be jacked up pretty high to get 235's under there. Also that is a gigantic tire to put on a 6.5in wide wheel. I would just go with 225 at the most. The 235 are gonna rub everywhere if you decide to turn the car very much at all.

 

yeah
i have just decided to get the 225/50/15's
that way they wont' rub as much

 

you should be fine...I saw 255-50-15 on a 99-00 Si with the stock wheels at NOPI. I didn't realize it was possible. The guy said it rubbed when the wheel was turned almost all the way. I also can't find that tire size anywhere. I didn't notice what brand it was...just the enormous size!

If you want to get your calculator out and figure Tire Diameter, the only tire I have ever rubbed with was a 215-40-17 with a 1.75" drop. The 205-40-17 NEVER rubbed.

 

i've seen a 255/50/16 drag radials but never a 15"

jesus...255/50/15's on an EM1 si....can't even imagine that, did it just go straight?

i have 205/50/15 azenis on my stock wheels, no spacers and it rubs when turned all the way in either direction, on the inside of the fenderwell...

 

I am sorry but 255 on stock wheels sounds like some BULLSHIT. I also had azenis on my 7" wide aguzzes and had a lot of rubbing issues. You could see where it rubbed all the paint off the inside of the fender where it rubbed everytime I made a U-turn or close to it. And correct me if I am wrong but aren't stock wheels only 6" wide? I don't see how it is possible to fit a 255 on that rim.

completely agree, 255/50 on 6" wheel = impossible
