Wheel/ tyre size combo weights

AllKiller · Post by **AllKiller** » Mon Jul 09, 12 10:05 pm

On a Jap forum i go on occasionally....they have a sticky chart on wheel/tyre size combos....so you can choose the lightest set up for your car for Drag Racing / track day purposes

Is this something we could do on here...every little helps ??

Great thinking

´good to know what max size will fit to

295 .50 15 are the max for a charger 68 for example

295's x 15 on the rear

Yes but a 295 on a wider wheel may not.

And if you are very lucky, your axle might even be almost centered under your car......

Hoosier do a 295 x 60 x 15; more tyre height for those high gears

...and as much depends on your spring combination as the wheel and tyre combo.

Dave is quite right. I tried ther same tyre on an 8 1/2" rim and a 10" rim.

Mounted on ther 8 1/2" rim it fitted with adequate clearance, on the 10" it did not......many variables and factors involved here - including good taste

Can you guys not read? Steve was talking about what weighed what, not what fits what

Ahh, clearly we can't read.
I'll let Steve buy the scales and post the sticky then

I didn't like to say anything, it was nice that everybody was getting involved. I think Steve's original idea is a good one though. If we can start getting the data together I'll tidy up the thread?
