what rubber to wear??

Discussion in 'Mech Tech' started by BettyBay, Oct 8, 2011.

  1. I have got some empi 5 to go on, but unsure to what size rubber to put on. the wheels are 15 x 5.5. I will be dropping it down a little with some new spindles. but just not sure what size rubber to go for?

    Any advice would be good thanks, pictures even better?

  9. hard to get anything taller in 185, go any wider and you'll have clearance issues with empi rims
     
  10. 195/70/15 as close to sock size as its gets .... go extra load or re-enforced

  15. Cheers Rick, need to know if they will squeeze in rear arches with no rubbage after my slight height adjustment ;)
     
  16. 195 too wide for empi's with offset of 12 or less

    on rear if lowered

    Cornell 1000 195/75R14 whitewalls. It had these fitted in the states before he was imported over. I've been told they are not an easy size to get and I'm going to need 4 next year with whitewalls.

    They have M+S on them too but l don't think this stands for Mud and Snow as they are not that good in mud. Instead l like to think they are Marks and Spencers. Lets see the partner of Mark Butler 47 beat me now on tyres :lol:
     
  18. I have EMPI 5s fitted by PO 195/50/15

    is that totally wrong?
