Re: sticky tire??
I seriously doubt that they are 245 on those pic..
and they are surely not 245/55/16 on your 15 inch wheel

I know you believe that you understand what you think I said but I'm sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

I cant mesure on the screen no... but I can clearly see that those rims are stock mx-3 wheel which are 15"...
so... get smart and realise your wrong about the tire size you just changed lol
ask anybody on here and they will tell you they are 15"

Re: sticky tire??
Yes, 5 spokers are 15". Its possible to put the wrong size tire on a rim. Fits like s--- though. Maybe that\s what happened to this guy.
I believe there is more than one thread about max tire size... depends a lot on the rim offset, and use of wheel spacers, etc...

Re: sticky tire??
yeah I wont mind playing with spacers to get them to fit.. I guess ill have some measuring to do when I take the car out of storage to see if I can fit them or not.. ill probably need some coilover to have more clearance

I am using oem stock size 15 inchers. I only use them for the drags. That kind of compound is not good for daily driver.
For my daily drivers Im using 17 inch nitto tires too but street. AA traction. I would need to go outside to look. Nothing like my nt01 tho, those are for autocross but they stick good and can be shaved down to slicks.
