Well.. As long as you don't worry about throwing your speedo off...

225/50/15 is the most tire you will get under your car without going to coilovers and different offsets...

I have rolled my rear fender lips on my track car to run 15x7 0 offset rims with 225/50/15 slicks on a lowered car...

The type of tire you mount will GREATLY affect the amount of steering feel/feedback... Race tires are absolutely in another class... there is NO street performance tire that will compare to racing tire... in any way...

So, am I gonna have to worry about rolling my fenders with 15x7 Rewinds, 225/50-15 Yokohama ES1000's, and a 1" drop? My understanding was that I would be fine with this size tire, rim, stock strut housings as well as the drop. I'm using the Tokico red springs. I really don't want to have to roll the fenders...

Hey! I have a question? If my front tires are 205/55/16 and my rears are 225/50/16 how much of a difference will there be in handling compared to an all 205/55/16 tire setup or an all 225/50/16 tire setup?

Arne you are right the tires I put on are a performance tire vs the all season tires that were on it before

Chris, what are the performance tires you changed to?

Bob

The tires I run are Hankook ventus R-s2 they are a high performance tire. I love them. I cant believe how much better my car handles. I bought them from the same guy that sells they rewind knock offs called fast fowards The set wheels and tires mounted balanced and shipped was $900 here is the linkhttp://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=109382

Thanks for the info Chris.

I also have 225/50/15 Falkens on my 260 and they look killer

I think I am going with the 15 x 7 Silver Panasports from Les @ Classic Datsun & the Yokohama AVID H4S P205/60R-15's.

Ordered the 15 X 7 Panasports from Les@ClassicDatsun today. Yoko AVID H4S tires are coming from DiscountTireDirect.

Mark,

What was the cost of the Panasports?

Bob

http://www.classicdatsun.com/ Give him a buzz. Les had the best price of all the Panasport dealers. All shipments come from the west coast warehouse so my cost will be higher than yours.

Ordered the 15 X 7 Panasports from Les@ClassicDatsun today.

I got my 15 x 7 Panasports from Les too. Great person to work with...Robert
