Juggary Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Will it stick out the fender or flush or still inside the fender? What's the best tire size below will clear and not scrap the fender? 195/50/16?205/50/16?205/45/16?205/40/16?215/45/16?225/45/16? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Nah, it won't fit... -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyquest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 What kinda car you talkin here? I have 8 inch rears (non-shp) on all four corners of my flatty and I only have minor rubbing from my fender. Now keep in mind that the flatty and widebody suspension geometry is different... Currently on those rims im running 225/50/16's Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-VO Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 On 8's 225s will look ok, you can squeeze 245's on there though for that stanced, "i can't get enough rubber" look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_Venable Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 They fit, but what tire you can run or want run will depend on a few variables, such as how low you are, are your fenders rolled, folded over, pulled, or how much camber your running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently on those rims im running 225/50/16's Allen Allen and D_Venable...I'm talking about my '88 wide body Starion w/SHP factory package, 9"SHP Rear and 8"SHP Front. I want to change the front to 8"non SHP because I like the double lip look(more bling). One guy in San Diego had it on his '87 Starion and it had an aggressive look that I like, but he said it was scraping a little bit when he turned hard. I believe he was using 225/50/16 with the 8" non SHP up front. I like the stretch look so I'll try using 205/45/16 or 205/50/16 with the 8" non SHP up front on stock height and fender not rolled.

Komeuppance Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Haha... yeah, just seeing if you'd notice. Here's when I had 225/50's on em:http://home.comcast.net/~Komeuppance/HdrRain2.jpg And then I switched em to a 205/55:http://home.comcast.net/~Komeuppance/HDRNight1.jpg And then most recently 205/50's:http://home.comcast.net/~Komeuppance/NightLightB.jpg -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for showing the 3 different tire setup on the 8"non SHP! it tells me I was in the right ball park with tire size. Do you like the 205/50 on the 8"non SHP up front? And does it rub? It looks like your Starion is dropped and rolled the fender. My plan is to install my polished 8"non SHP up front with 205/50 or 205/45 at stock height and not rolled.

Guest Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 How about 245 45's? Do they still make that size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggary Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 How about 245 45's? Do they still make that size? Yes, Nexen still makes 245/45/16 tire size but that tire size may not fit the front 8"non SHP. But that's the recommended tire size for the rear 9"SHP.

ucw458 Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Toyo makes better 245/45/16 tires. Only catch is they are track day tires. Expensive but worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggary Posted April 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Nexen eh? I know a tire distributor that carries those. Yo, you in the San Fe Valley? Yup...SoCal from Granada Hills. Nexen is ok to me...245/45/16 is kinda hard to find now a days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
