I'm about to order my wheels and tyres:

Front: 15x7 with a 3.5" backspace - tyres: 235/60r15

Rear: 15x10 with a 4.5" backspace - tyres: 275/60r15

Opinions? Advice?

Cheers.

Might have a problem with the Bananarama! the arches , i've got the same rear combo on mine (black windows)with 275/50/15 , i run caltracs so can get away with it , 60 profile will cause problems , 50 profile may work if the springs are good.

Some get away with it using air shocks , you really don't wanna go down that route.

Sorry i did'nt give you the info you wante to hear , a great lookin wheel though , i normally run TT2s , when i get bored with em i swap over to the black windows , completely transforms the car , looks mean.

Cheers Brutus, it's not a case of 'not wanting to hear' stuff, I'm asking so I don't buy the wrong stuff.

I apreciate the info and now I need to adapt it to my car. I never realised wheels and tyres were so complicated(!)

The black windows do look mean though don't they? That's why I chose them.

NIce but heavy

Checked the rear tyre size , there 275x60x15 , don't think they manufacture the 50 profile for that tyre , Budgie will know.

You might get away with it if you have the rear springs retempered & 1 1/2" to 2" added to them , or maybe empty the boot , carry no passengers & run the fuel tank on near empty.

Been there done it , eh Bob,

Yep.
4 up on the arches

Thanks guys, really appreciate the help and maths. I'll be ordering my set up this week.

Go on Duke Tub it

Got 295x50x15s on the back of mine with no issues. Suspension is rock hard (no air shocks)

My Cornet swallowed 275/60X15's on 15x8 Rallyes with 4.5" back space. No modifications, no issues.

Adam , Duke is talkin about 10" rims.

I think you need a 5.5" backspace with a 10 inch rim.

Just as a point of reference the tires that are on are:

Front 205/70 R15
Rear 235/75 R15

These are all wrong I know, that's why I'm changing them but as far as clearance/height goes I think I'll be ok.

I just need to calculate backspace for the rears. I originally thought 4.5" on the 10" rims at the back but I think Mick70RR may be right and I need to go 5.5" bs on the back. I'm still calculating

Cheers for this stuff fellas, it's good to have the benefit of all your experiences.

Just a thought , if you go with the 5.5" backspace , then you will loose the 'full look' on the rear , will only be an inch different than stock look , a few of us have got away with fitting 10" rims with 4.5 back space , come to think of it my TT2s have a 3 3/4 back space , never had a problem with the black window 4.5 back space , sooooo , forget all my last posts & get those black windows.

Cheers Brutus that's settled then. Caterpillar tracks it is
