What's the best tire size for a 15x7 rim?
205/50 is slightly taller = more top speed in 2nd gear
225/45 would be nice if someone made it...
Slightly taller than which size?Quote:

I ran both 205/50-15 and 225/45-15 tireson 15"x7" wheels (as well as 195/50-15 street tires), and really couldn't tell much of a difference among any of them.
What kinda wheels didja get, Sparky? And have you done anything about those brakes yet? :mrgreen:
I told Al not to let him have the wheels until he had proof of brake repair... :-)
Not telling just yet! :mrgreen:Quote:

No black... just plain ol' silver.
I have 195/50/15 and like the low profile look and the ride is good too
I thought you were kidding about the wheels being black in color... it seems black is the only color they can get a hold of right now... :cry:Quote:

6 weeks, at least, on the Heliums.
Geez... :roll:
I agree....
Black rims would look shizzle on a Mariner blue.
Silver is too common. :?
I thought I read on the :batman: board the Brian had a shipment coming, but I can't seem to find the post.Quote:

3 to 4 weeks... :twisted:
I can hardly wait. 8)
Got the brakes taken care of yet? I'd hate to see you put those nice new rims over those poor excuse for brakes you have! :twisted:Quote:

I bought them 'cause they look rather low key... at least compared to something like the Heliums. 8)Quote:
