Tires

hey guys, i'll need tires soon and i was thinkin of getting 235/55's on my stock 92 RS rims. Does anybody have this size tire on this rim so i can see what they look like? I have the stock 215/65's on there and they look like donuts.

Thanks, Ted

Buy from Tire Rack, mail order
Check around for how much mounting & balancing
235-60-15 should be great.
I have 245-60-15 on rear & it looks nice.
I have 215-65-15 in front & looks ok, too.
BUT little meatier better looks.

I'm looking for a 215-65-15 with lots of tread, need only one! Local!

They are the best out there, so far.
I think it's GREAT your team made it to finals, under Bryon Scott!
HE IS ONE OF THE BEST SHOWTIME MOMENTS from the 80's.
The Nets are going places, guarantee it, keep cheering them on.
But I'll still take ya to the LAKERS VICTORY PARADE if you upload my digi camera soft ware.
My 21 month old will be going with us.
He loves waving his arms:rockon:
Raising him on ROCK AND ROLL!!!!!

Here is one picture from the rear, I need to take a better one... this one just doesn't do justice...


Here is a picture of the tires before I mounted them. They are Bridgestone Potenza RE730 P245/50ZR-16 and I purchased them from tirerack.com I believe online.


Here is a picture of one of the rims, I believe you are speaking of the same ones...

Before I traded my factory rims off of my 91 RS . I had 235/60/15's on the front and 255/60/15's on the rear. Yokohama's all the way around . Now my new rims that I traded mine for are Centerline Fluted 5 stars w/ 225/60/15's in the front and 245/60/15's on the rear. These are brand new rims and tires. The guy I traded w/ just bought them and had about a 100 miles on them and decidedhe didnt like them . So he wanted factory RS rims for his 88. I think I stole them........And I didnt look back either . The 255's fill the fender well real good. It doesnt give you that donut look when you look at your car from the back. I can tell a difference now from all 4 sizes I had/have. So I m happy for now. Will post a before and after pic soon.
