I'm planning on getting a set of the standard third gen 15x7 Z28 rims (see pic below) as an extra set for my IROC, but not sure which tire size I want to get for them. I know what will fit, but not sure how they will look. Does anyone have any good pics of these 15x7 wheels with the following tire sizes on them...

215-60 (or 65)-15
225-60-15
235-60-15

Straight on or 3/4 angle pics would be great so i can see the amount of sidewall bulge...thanks in advance

yes, i read through that one before I posted this thread...ok pics of 235's, but nothing about 225's or 215/60's...so still looking.

 

the only two tires you can put on these wheels without jacking up the speedometer are 215/65 and 235/60

I'm not even sure if the others are even a real size. never heard of them, so why even bother?

 

Well my speedo is already jacked up because someone put a different rear with the wrong gear ratio in my car (so I have to recalibrate it anyway), and yes, 215/60's and 225/60's both exist in many brands (including BFG t/a's). The 225's I'm especially interested in because they are wider than the 215's, but might not have the dreaded sidewall bulge that the 235's have on 7 inch wide rims...so I think it is worth the bother.

Here's some examples...

well to each his own man.. most people don't have your speedometer worries, so they tend to stick to factory height

on the other hand I like that website.. free shipping and good prices... I may have to investigate more...

 

well right now I'm running 245-50-16 on factory 16x8 IROC rims, so I don't want to drop down to 215's unless i have to. Where I live tires for 15 inch rims are much easier (and cheaper) to get than ones for 16 inch rims.

 

i ran 235's on my 15's. I liked the way they look. I dont have any side shots like you want. just shots of them mounted on the car from a distance. i went to 215's this last tire change. mostly because the tires I wanted did not offer them in 235's. 235's looked fine and the tire sidewall bulge wasnt bad at all.
