Tyres and Opinions

I have been running 205/40R17 for years but now I cannot find a legal 205/40R17 tyre for the Spyder since el cheap Maxxis stop making one of their tyres and anything larger than this is over the 3% threshold and hence, illegal...

Staggered Tyre Size Recommendations

Folks, I'm about to go to staggered tyres and have settled on 215/40-17 for the front on 7.5 inch rims but I can't decide between 235/40-17 or 245/40-17 (maybe even 245/35-17) on 8.5 inch rims at the back. The car is a 90 SW20 Turbo running at standard ride height and is a daily driver, not a track ..

Looking for 15" rims

Been chasing rims for SW20 with little luck so far as no one seems to have 15" in a 5 stud configuration anymore. Ideally I'd want 15x6 in the front and 15x7 in the rear if anyone has anything going or knows where to get some. Open to suggestions on the style of rim, currently looking at somethi..

Cannot find replacement tyres for 225/50/15R

My tread is getting dangerously low I'm not too knowledgeable in this department, and i can't manage to figure out where to find these tyres. Is it 100% necessary that I get the same tyres as I had before (Toyo Proxes I'm pretty sure)? My rear tyres are 225/50/15R, but the front are 195/55/15R, but ..

Does someone in Melbourne want to assist with this and you can get yourself a staggered set.2. What Wheel nuts have the people who have done this use? I have not..

Maximum tyre width difference

Hi guysI'm wondering if anyone has experimented with a 40mm difference in front / rear tyres i.e. 205 front 245 rear, or 215 front 255 rear. Would this cause a significant amount of understeer? I have a set of wheels with 205 (7.5") front, 225 (8.5") rear, both slightly stretched. The fronts are hig..
