Default Pics of 15's and 16's wanted

I'm always seeing requests for pics of 20's. Well, damn it, I love rubber; show me tires with lots of sidewall. So let's see those 15's and 16's. When my GT needs new rubber I may trash my 18's and go 15" or 16". Steve McQueen is probably turning over in his grave with these S197's and their 18" and larger rims.

TTT as I bet you wont get many responses of those running 15's or 16's on the S197 stangs.....heck isnt the smallest rim you can get a 16 inch for the S197's unless you have drag rims in 15's?

None of these are mine. I wish they were...







I'm not sure what size these are, but I think it's worth a look

Sweet. Those simply wet my appetite even more. Nice ride and times, Mike.

I've heard you can go 15" with the right rim or with a rim that has enough metal to shave down to clear the calipers. But I'm thinking 16" for the time being.

More! More!

It was my understanding that even with the 16"s you need the smaller V6 brakes. Am I mistaken?

Those are 17s and maybe smaller at back.
And yes, butt ugly rims on the S197.

The drag rims are awesome too, but not something you want to drive much on the street as they are not durable enough to handle imperfections in the road. It wont take long before they're all bent.
