Guest 1z2c Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 I found some old turbine wheels(14,S)by 7 1/2 inches wide that came off a z. My question is what is the ideal tire size I need to run on these rims?I have a set of brand new tires that are 205/70/14.Is this a good size to run.My z has 350hp to 400hp. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions? depends on how tight you want it to handle twisties, I like a 225/50/16 on a 16x7" rim and a 245/45/16 on an 16x8" rim and that suits me fine for daily (bit rough) and road course/lapping days, not sure what choices you'll have in wider rubber for 14" rims, before you buck up you may want to check out selling those as someone will bid it up I'm sure and putting your sale $ towards some 16's (custom/centreline or otherwise) or a 5lug conversion/setup I can get 5lug Riken's in 16x7 brand new for ~$500US in +20mm offset but that does require 4 spacers of ~1/2-1" depending on where you want to place your wheels. Getting into 5lug is v. enjoyable with tons of wheels going around new and used etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
