widest tire on 8" rallies
I have a set of 15 x 8 rallies and was wondering what is the widest tire I could with a mild drop. Probably a 3/5 drop. Thanks.

Re: widest tire on 8" rallies
i wouldn't go any wider than a 275mm section width (the first number on the size designation) If you have a tire brand in mind already, you can go to there site and see what they recomend.
If the tire is too wide, then it can cause the vehicle to sway, or squirm... esp if we are talking rear tires. |
