biggest tires.
i currently have 205/65/15s on my ten hole rims. and i was wondering what is the biggest size i can get on them. i only want to replace the rear tires. i think i might have 4cyl springs up front not to sure is there anyway to check on that? and would it make any difference?

RE: biggest tires.
The springs wont affect wheel clearance that much, they simply have less restriction with rebound and compression (they aren't as stiff). You should be able to wrap 255's on the 10 holes no prob.

RE: biggest tires.
ok, heres where the confusion comes in... 65 isnt the height... its a percentage of the width(all listed in mm) that makes up the sidewall height... for example
225/60/15
tread width: 225mm
sidewall height: 60% of 225
over all height: (60% of 225)x2 + 15(rim diameter)
make sense?
so esentially you wanna figure out what your sidewall height is right now
65% of 205, figure that out, and then set this up...
205x0.65=whatever width you go with times "x"... then solve it as an algebra equation, answer will give you the profile number w. the size tire you want to stay stock height...
225/60/15
tread width: 225mm
sidewall height: 60% of 225
over all height: (60% of 225)x2 + 15(rim diameter)
