Just wondering what size tire should I run on my 08 tc if I swap to 16x7 rims so the speedo is still correctly calibrated?? also just wondering if 15x7's will fit the tc??

View Full Version : Tires size question for a 16x7 rim davedavetC 03-30-2008, 03:27 PM http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=216956 and why would you want smaller wheels? _Reaper_ 03-30-2008, 09:28 PM Lighter weight for 1/4 mile racing im going all out with a Stage 3 GT TT kit and I want to be as light as possible without any body mods like cf hatch or hood.. davedavetC 03-31-2008, 01:20 AM get some light weight 17s. _Reaper_ 03-31-2008, 01:46 AM Find me a set of lightweight (15lbs or less) 17's that are black or black with a polished lip and ill buy em!! I cant seem to find any though Zebman 03-31-2008, 01:47 AM If it's for drag, why does it matter if the speedo is correct? Get some 215/40/16 slicks. _Reaper_ 03-31-2008, 02:15 AM Its for drag but its also going to be daily driven. and I will be riding around on bfg drag radials which should be good when heated up properly at the track davedavetC 03-31-2008, 03:00 AM 17x7.5 et 40 http://www.autornd.com/catalog/images/large/VolkTE37.JPG pricey but VERY high quality looks great and VERY light weight! davedavetC 03-31-2008, 03:01 AM http://www.autornd.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=14_8860&products_id=224&osCsid=23228cd50ce12eacec1a63af8736157f _Reaper_ 03-31-2008, 03:12 AM Yeah for a set of black 17x7.5's with centercaps and lugnuts it came to over $2500 no thx lol davedavetC 03-31-2008, 03:18 AM true =x konig feathers are nice and light, i had a set of those, i think they where 16 lbs for 17x7.5s and come in black or silver those are 146 a wheel _Reaper_ 03-31-2008, 03:40 AM I may go with the Daylites although the only black wheel they offer has a yellow stripe around it which I will definately have to have powdercoated over. in 17x7 they only weigh 14.2 lbs masteryoda10 05-11-2008, 04:46 PM I have Motegi tracklites and they are only like 17x7.5 and 15 lbs or so kiss_tc 05-12-2008, 03:11 AM i was interested in the tire sizing for 16" rims... i want more of a sidewall and more meat on the tire... gravel and car washes are killing my 17s... what would be the best tire for a 16" rim and still have the speedo correct? masteryoda10 06-10-2008, 05:35 PM Rota slipstream probably. Go 245/45/16 or 245/50/16 on a 16x8 wheel. Leo_EdgeRacing 06-11-2008, 02:55 PM Try 215/50R16. You are only -0.6% off from stock which does not affect speedo. masteryoda10 06-11-2008, 03:32 PM Good point but not extending the width of the rubber defeats alot of the purpose... Leo_EdgeRacing 06-11-2008, 04:01 PM 225/50R16 is the closest you will get to the stock overall diameter. It would +1.0%. |
