Hi guys,

Did anyone tried 215/60 R 16 on VR4? These are 30mm bigger in diameter. I wonder if the front fender arch allows that size?


Cheers,
A

Would depend on if you are running a stock ride height? You will also loose some some low end grunt, but gain top end. If your running stock suspension should be fine. Most of us are running a 2-3" drop and don't have any tire rubbing issues on the wheel wells. You might hit on the inner frame rails however!!!

Personally I would do a little measuring, is your car lowered? Even if it is I would say you probably don't have a problem with that size tire on 16" rims...

The car has stock springs with KYB shocks. No lowering. The car is being build for rally. In fact, I would not mind making the suspension a bit higher. A friend of mine got those tires for less than 1/2 price and I'm trying to see if I could use them.
