11481, 215's on 6" wide wheel?
Posted by Logic3, Aug-12-02 06:01 PM
Can I put 215's on my stock GS wheels? I didn't think you could get 225's on a 7" wide wheel but I had them on my old Rated-R's....so why not 215's on a 6" wide wheel? yes...no?

yes you can put a 215 on a 6 inch wide wheel, but I wouldn't put anything wider than that on there

I think (I'm not sure about this) some AWD DSMs, before they came standard with the 17 inch rims, had 215 tires on 16 by 6 inch rims, but I am not positive about this. (might have been the 95-96 models) I can check, unless (again) someone can check it out before I get to it :)

yes the awd talon/eclipse in the 95-96yrs did come with 215/55-16 tires.. so you should be fine with the 215 tires on 6in wide rims..

also i found something that seemed strange or something i didnt expect to see.. the gs-t models in 95-96 came with 205/50-16 tires.. and of course for the gs it was 205/55-16..

225 50 16 is the biggest tire you can put on the stock wheels. I have them on my car now! That size also keeps the speedo calibrated.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm not sure I'm gonna go this route but my tires are getting pretty worn and I need some new ones pretty soon. Tirerack had a good deal on some 215/50 Kumhos so I was thinking about doing it....

I seriously doubt you could get 245's on a 6" wide wheel... Sounds a little far fetched... Where are the pics at?
