can i use the stock xa tires in a 15x7 rim???

also i want to know i good tire in 215/50/15


thanx

 

wow 215/50 eh? thatll be a bit off but um yeah . and the stock tires will stretch it but ya know not the best .

 

so what size would be better??? i check with a tire calculator in 2003corolla.org and between 205/55 and 215/50 i think 215 would be better. gime your opinion about that

thanx

 

i check again now here, http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

with the 205/55 the speedometer is .06% too slow

with the 215/50 1.2% too fast


so i think the 215 been wider and with less sidewall the car will handle better and also will accelerate better.

 

Do not recall exact sources for this information. Collected it while researching the xA. Stuck in folder without source data. Perhaps it might help.

FYI, most 185/60R15's (the xA O.E. tire size) have a rim width range of 5.00 to 6.50 inches, however, some will fit up to a 7.0 inch wheel, it depends on the tire brand and model.
