Tyre Size?

Post by Anonymous »

Out of interest, does anyone know what size tyre should be on the front of my Satellite? Its front boots are 205/60R15's at the mo. but they look a bit small.

On a 15" rim you can run up to 235/60R15

Discovered earlier that the 10x15 wolfie sluts from my ranchero fit the rear end of the charger, they seem to have a 4.5 inch backspace. At the minute they are fitted with N50/15 Kelly Supercharger tyres which need replacing and there's exactly 1inch between the tyre wall and the rear wheel arch lip, is a space of 1 inch enough and are N50/15's still available, if they're not whats the best size to replace them with or should I put something different on anyway?

Rebel 295 x 50 x 15's radials, they'll give you slightly more clearance too about 1/2", Due to the rounded shoulders. :D

ok, sorted then. Front 7x15 with 235/60/15, Rear 10x15 with 295/50/15, wolfies all round. All I need to do now is clean and polish the wheels and find some cash for the tyres. :D
