There are no high performance DOT tires in 15" that are any bigger than 225s anymore, except for Hoosiers. They still make a 245 and a 275 in 15", but they aren't cheap. There are lots of choices in racing slicks, but then you aren't street legal anymore, and they are 6 point tires. Your brake upgrade paths are limited with the 15" rims as well, if that is a future possibility for your car.ronaldtrotter wrote: This even though the tires are getting harder to find.
Actually, there is no penalty for running a wider wheel if the total track increase is not greater than 2". With the difference in offsets on the 7 x 16" and the 9 x 16" Fuchs, there is actually less than 2" of track increase, and the 245 tire will work much better on the 9" wheel than the 8", for the same 2 point penalty.ronaldtrotter wrote:So 245's are the biggest I could go and the wider wheel would also add pts I believe.
Unfortunately, the days of a reasonably priced 9x16" Fuchs wheel are long gone. They are going for $1200/pair and up (nearly $2000 for new ones, last I heard!) You can buy a complete set of the 8 & 10 x16" steel wheels for $400! Motomotion also has lighter aluminum racing wheels from Circle for less than $1000/set.
