Tyres On Staggered Wheels

[jessiek]

Hey guys looking at a set of wheels width of them are 8" and 8.5" just wondering is it okay to run same tyre size all around? Not Intrested of how it will look, just want to know if everything will be okay with the same tyre size thanks! Going on r34 gt

[darksky34]

yes mate, that's what people call "stretched" tyres - i.e. putting a tyre which is too narrow to fully cover the rim.

[Frosty]

the above isnt exactly in context but yes same tyre will be fine

Done this before also, will be fine. No issue at all on a 2wd car.

Try to find a size that doesnt stretch too far on the bigger rim or bulge too far on the smaller. Will look OK too.

Would look ace

I used to run a 255 on my 9 and a 235 on my 8.5

Don't worry about money, just do it!

235 all round is fine. Although I don't see why 245 would be a lot more expensive (for the rear).

Haha i just dropped 1k on these tyres otherwise i wouldnt mind, i will defintly go Different sizes when these ruined tho

iv been ringing around places they all seem to say similar things 245 will rapidly jump in price and quote me around the 300 mark, probaly calling the wrong places lol.
