Thread: 195s on 7 or 7.5" rim?

  1. #1

    Default 195s on 7 or 7.5" rim?

    Anyone know if Toyo T1-Rs in 195/50-15 will be happy on a 7" rim? What about a 7.5" rim?
    TIA,

    I've been running 195/50/15 T1-Rs on 7" rims and they have been real happy for many years now.

    All kinds of autocrossers run 195 Toyo R1Rs on 7" rims.

    FWIW i'm running 205/50 falken 912s on 15x8 wheels(mainly because i'm cheap). Tire is streched very slightly, but nothing big, no HELLASTRETCH drifto or anything. But turn in is nice and sharp for the cheap tires.

    I don't know the nuances of the Toyo's but I'm running 195/55-15 Dunlop Star Specs on a 15x7.5 tire. No problems.
