what tire size for an 8 and 10 inch wheel?

Post by 4EyedGoon »

what do you guys run on your 10 inch wheels? I have 1 inch flares in the front and 3 inch flares out back. I feel like a 205 is probably going to be too aggressive of a stretch for the back.

Yea I'm sorry I have 15 inch eagle alloys. I'm new to tire stretching so I was curious.

you are gonna have to roll and stretch the hell out of the rear quarters to clear 10 inch wide rims even with a stretched tire. what year is your corolla?

10 inch rim and a 205/50/15 and I recommend the Dunlop DZ101 or Federal tires they handle the stretch better. you can order a 215/50/15 too if you dont wanna stretch the hell out of them.

i would like to not stretch the tires like crazy. i cant for the life of me find 215 50's. would a 225 50 be ok? I guess i really need to mount the rim and measure what clearance i have. any suggestions on how to load the suspension to see my clearance without putting the rim on the ground?

Hey TedD, didn't you get a whiff of that decomposing odor when you opened the door before you walked into this room ;).

Slightly off topic, but what does the contact patch look like on a stretch that wide?
