SW20 tyre sizes *SORTED*

[GDII]

What size tires should I have on the 15" wheels on my SW20?
I have 6" wide on the front and 7" on the back.



The car had a set of GT radial 205 50 15s on the back and looked a little small for the car.
They had flat spots on them so I replaced them with 205 50 15 Dunlop Direzzas and they look even smaller and stretched.
Not too happy about the looks. Should have done some research first.

I have 195 55 15 on the front and they look fine.

225/50/15's from memory

you should use 215/50 on the back, they will be the same sidewall height as your 195/55 so will look right.

for your reference:



If you change the word stock to front, and new to rear, the application can be used to compare front and rear tire circumference, and as you can see they are near enough to identical.

I run 205/50/15s and 225/50/15s on mine.

out of interest, since your running factory wheels, does it not say inside the drivers door what size you should use?

No, Because this is a 1990 SW20 with later model wheels. It had 14" from factory.

I run 205/50/15s and 225/50/15s on mine.

Well in that case I will buy some 225/50/15 for the back and swap the back tires to the front wheels.

Nah back then it had 195/55/15 on the front. But was still 225/50/15 on the rear.



Thats with 205s on the front. Man i hate that white bumper

At least your wing mirrors aren't pink

And i don't have the lights in the front bumper. Hope I can pick up some cheap. Would finish off the front nicely with the bigger front lip.

I dont run spotlights either. But it looks 100x better when theres no cutout for them

Yea the big gapping holes don't look too good.

Thanks for helping me out guys! Much appreciated.
