largest width tyre

[PQV]

hi guys, can get some cheap street radials by mickey thompson, just wana know the largest width tyre the arch of an EL will fit in the rears? thanks

depends on rim size and wall height.

i had 255/65/15's

they wer pretty tight

alright awesome, heard that 265 was the largest, but i measured and it looks like it'll be too tight. ive got ultra low spring and running 15" x 6". 65 wall height is probably the go as thats the wall size most people are running on 15's i believe?

Wasn't this covered about a fortnight ago?

'65' (assuming you're talking about a 205/65R15) is the aspect ratio, the percentage of tyre width, so a 225/65R15 is a taller tyre than a 205/65R15.

i didnt find anything in my search, thats why i asked. all i wanted to know is the largest width available to fit into the rear.

I have superlows in the rear of my EL, which have also been chopped and I'm running a 265/50/15 perfectly no rubbing at all, even with a full car.
