does anyone has some nitto drag radial on their mx-3?? if so hows the fit?

Im looking into buying some new tire and wanted some nitto but they are pretty big to fit on an mx.
what does every one run for tire?

anyone running 245 on an mx???

i had 245/55/16's on my car when i bought it.. go into the introduction part and click on the hello from saskatoon. the tires on the car in that picture is 245/55/16's. they looked big.. but didnt seem big while driving or throw anything off..

I seriously doubt that they are 245 on those pic..

and they are surely not 245/55/16 on your 15 inch wheel

I want to run 245-50-16 on my car.. did anybody ever fit such a tire on their mx-3??

come on guys.. no body running wider than stock or what?

uh they are 245/55/16's im the pictures.. and they are SIXTEEN inch rims. not 15's idunno why your sitting here trying to say there 15s. can u measure them on the computer screen? didnt think so. so dont get smart and say im wrong about the tires i JUST changed off of it. like really man.

and im sure you can go 245/50/16s. if u wanna try go get a cheap burnt up set from somewhere and throw them on. and see what the fit is like..

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"

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...

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

Im using nitto nt01, auto cross tires but once warmed up, pretty sticky.

what size are you using? and do you run them on the street ? if so around how many km can you do?

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.
