Will a general 15" wheel fit over the brakes? i see no reason it shouldnt, just checking if anyone has tried..

thanks.

 

Can I just ask why you would ever want to?

 

autox setup..

 

I was hoping to hear, like Drag-slicks or Rally Event, but yeah...auto-x smaller then 17's is a good idea, but wouldnt you get a little too much sidewall roll on a 15? What about a nice set of lightweight 16's? Like a 235/50-16? Maybe some SSR's that are like 8lbs a piece in 16's ? Or Volk TE-37's haha, sorry I just love those, and Work Emotions.

 

i heard people using 15 in steelies on winter tires with no problems

 

auto cross...

 

15" racing tires could give you a stiffer sidewall than the stock 17" tires, so that's not really a concern. I think 15" wheels will fit, but haven't tried it myself. I would look for a set of Corolla or Matrix 15s to try them out.

 

We offer several 15 " wheels for the tC. You can find them under the "Winter" fitments on our site:

^Well, then, I guess they do fit. Thanks Roger (and all at The Tire Rack.)

 

I try really hard not to ask noob questions....but why would smaller tire be more beneficial in autocross? Less inertia?
