What tyres do you have? (1303 on 15" rims)

[neil76]

Hi Guys,

I have got my wheels sourced and they are in the process of being detailed before fitting when the new coilovers go on.

The car is a 1303 (Super) cabriolet which will have Porsche teledials going on drilled drums (until I can afford the brake upgrade!).

The wheels are Porsche teledials, 15x6,23mm front and 15x7,52 mm back. Now I just need the tyres so I was wondering what the other super people running 15's have on their cars with what width rims and drop?

Thanks
Neil.

P.S I was thinking of 195/50's all round or 205/50 back and 185/55 front, any thoughts?

Here's what I'm running on my 1302, Empi 8-spokes (5 1/2's), I don't know what the off set is but its enough to have to trim down the the bottom bolt on my balljoints. I'm running 195/60's in the rear and Continnental 175/55 in the front. The Continnentals costed me an arma and a leg but I'll tell you what they are worth the money. I don't rub anywhere and it feels real good in the corners. I am dropped to the ground in the front and a slight rake in the rear. This what I'm running until I get some 17's.

I had 195-50 and 205-60 on empi 8's on my 1302, lowered 3" up front. Rubbed on turns and some bumps because of the wheel offset and drop. The tires were no-name all season tires.

I had 205/55 Kumho's on 8 spokes and rubbed a bit in the front. The tires were awesome on the street.......and cheap. I just bought 195/50/15 Bridgestone Potenza S-03's for my Rabbit. I'm also using this tire (different sizes) on my '03. Tire Rack is having a closeout on 195/45 Yokahama AVS Intermediates (awesome tire) for $35 each.
