streeteg Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well as I step up my power and start using my car for what its supposed to be used for I am going to ditch the stretched tire setup and step down the spacer to go with a more streetable, less risky tire. Unfortunately I cant find a streetable tire thats a 275/35/15 other then the hoosier which is just not a street tire. Anyone know the options that are out there for me? I cant seem to find any options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Purple240zt Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 They don't make jack for tires in 15 anymore unfortunately, 16s are going that way as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Then you're basically SOL. Sell those wheels and look for some 17 x 9s and run 245s or 255s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primadonna z Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 If those are true 3 piece wheels it may be possible to re-barrel the wheels to 17". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project Z Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 If you want small sidewalls like that, slicks are the only type of tires you can find however; 265 50 15's, you have some choices: Hankook Ventus H101 99S and Cooper Cobra G/T 99S. http://www.onlinetires.com/user/vehicle/tires/allbrands.html 275 50 15's are all Drag Radials. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HS30-H Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Unfortunately I cant find a streetable tire thats a 275/35/15 other then the hoosier which is just not a street tire. Anyone know the options that are out there for me? I cant seem to find any options. You're going to have to compromise on aspect ratio I think. Michelin TB15 & TB5 F&R: http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/michelin-tb.php Or Avon CR6ZZ: http://www.longstonetyres.co.uk/Avon-CR6ZZ-Radials.php Both fantastic street tyres.

streeteg Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 between the Nittos and the Mickey Thompsons I might have something pretty good-- Hopefully the nittos will work- I will have to seriously drop the spacer though to get them under the fender but im not too worried about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
