could everyone who has a pic of the back of there car so u could see the tires and how wide they r post it i want to see what size i should in thickness.

18x9.5 c5 rims 275 35 18 Kuhmos!

Here is a low shot.
17x9 WS6 wheels with 275/40/17 Kumhos

ha this ised to be my buddys car (let girlfriend drive it and wrecked it) but he got these wheels for free when he needed a set and put them on there, all i know is that they were on 15 inch wheels, and they were 275/60/r15(i think) coopers cobras. they were HUGE!! lol

stock GTAs with (at the time) a set of Kelly Charger Z rated

stock IROC rims with 245/50/16's on em

215/60/16......for some odd reason my front tires hit??

245 50r 16

ok since this is about tires....how do u read the numbers? all i know is the last number is the size of the rim

I've got the same as size as Zephers on TT2's.

Take 245/50/16 for example: The width of the tire is 245mm. "50" is the aspect ratio i.e.(% of width of tire), sidewall thickness measured from the edge of the rim to the corner of the tire. In this case "50" means that the sidewall is 50% of 245mm which means it's about 122.5mm of sidewall from the edge of the rim to the edge/corner of the tire. "16" of course is the rim size.

275/40/17 means the tire is 275mm wide and the sidewall is 40% of the width and "17" is... you guessed it the rim size.

285/35/18 means the tire is 285mm wide and the sidewall is 35% of the width on an 18" rim.
And do you know what? All three of these sizes have an identical height. Some are wider with a smaller aspect ratio (profile) and some are thinner with a larger aspect ratio.
Here's two of them 245/50/16 & 285/35/18

Reading tires,

215/65R15

215--- width of the tire in mm, so its 21.5cm

65-- means 215X65% (215X.65) is the height of the tire from the rim to to top of it.

R-- Radial tire,

15 Rims size in inches

here is mine

another they are 275 50 15 bfg drag radials

Sorry about the poor quality

in school for some reason i had a teacher telling me that the wider the tire the worse the traction. i argued that wider is better other wise why wouldnt drag car use skinier ones. whos right here? Sorry about being off topic but its not totally off

No prob, I love tires. I don't know how many years I thought just because it said "50" that meant it was a wide tire. Now if I can just figure out how to get a 315/30/18 on the rear of my SS without it coming through the rear seats! That brings me to another question. Anyone know if there is a 17X9 IROC replica rim availible? Maybe I'll start a post on this.

Vintage Z28 60's right now:

245 50 16 Toyo Proxes Fz4-great tires id recommend em!

another

console on the paint?

does anyone have the same tires as me 215/60/16? if so do ur fronts rub the well towards the back of the car?

Here are mine 245/50/16's....

15" american racing rims, 245 wide bald tires

Here ya go,
4th gen rear with ARE 16x8 3rd gen wheels on my friends car.

wow that 4th gen rear makes them stick out that much more?

Ya, and I think it's kinda funny looking too.

275/40/17 yokohamas

That one looks good(the phat tires) What do you run on the front?

hey how do the yoko's handle? and how much were they for all 4?

im running 255 in the front. Im running the yokohamas avs db series and they're awsome. We resently had a rain storm over here at the bay and they were bada** in the rain. I rarly hydroplaned on the highway. The traction is incredable. I got the front tires for 161 each and for the rear tires 171 each, so the total of 778.78. It's alittle pricey but for a quality tire I highly recommend them.

275/50/15's on prostars

255/40/17 Falkens, they look pretty narrow in the pic...

Those look exactly like the Firestone Firehawks that I use on my 15x7 winter set of rims!
