Evening all,
Just bought a set of American racing Outlaw 2 wheel's for my car, they are 14 inch rims with 0 offset, any ideas what tyre size would be best, the car currently has Compomotives with 205 60 13 tyre's and is lowered on the arse by 1 inch and has 2.8 struts on her front, any suggestions?

You could have a play with this tyre size calculator to find tyres that have the same rolling radius (circumference) as your current tyres.

Re: Advice on tyre sizes
Thanks for this Andrew, I have measured the distance from the edge of the rim to the strut and I have a 28mm gap, obviously this will be smaller when the tire is mounted and bulges outwards but it does seem alot of gap for 0 offset wheels but I'm no expert on the subjectAndrew 2.8i wrote: ↑Sat Jul 20, 2019 7:29 pm You could have a play with this tyre size calculator to find tyres that have the same rolling radius (circumference) as your current tyres.
