Tire pros needed - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #45318 7 posts Started by sillycarowner
Hey all i'm looking at getting rid of my stock 205/55/r15 mega bald tires and replacing them with some 17's but i'm a bit confused on what aspect ratio and sizing details etc to get.

I'm currently driving a 1995 celica sx in western australia so we really only get real dry weather, any ideas what measurements would suit best?
depends on the width of the wheel you get

205 refers to the width of the tire
55 refers to the sidewall
15 obviously is the rim diameter it fits

If you want to replace your 15" for 17", I would go with P215/45R17 or P225/45R17 tires. It's the safe size for your rims and you not going to have any or minimum speedooo difference. You need 7or 7.5" wide rim for that size. Make sure you got a right rim offset. Hope I helped you...

Okay, basically if you buy 17" rims that at 7" wide your best bet is to get a tire size of P215/45R-17. If the 17" rims are 7.5"-8" wide you should go with P225/45R-17.

And what would be the right offset to have the wheels flush to the fenders?

Thanks
