Joshy7 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi guys I have ordered some rota alecia wheels 15x9 -10 offset rear and 15x8 0 offset front I've got flares to put on what size tyres suit these wheels ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agno Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 225/50 fronts and 245/45 rears. You are going to need some decent sized spacers to fit those with flares! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 245/45 in a 15...... good luck with that. The widest I have seen for a road tyre is 225/50 or 225/45 in 15. You can get 235/50 15 is semi slick race rubber and then there is the very $$$ period tyres which are made in small batches is 285/40 15 etc. See http://www.antiquetyres.com.au Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshy7 Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Arrrr tyre hell why doesn't just one manufacturer still produce wide low 15 inch tyres? Sorry lying did get quoted $990 per tyre for a 265/45/15 Michelin! I went for 205/50/15 front and 225/50/15 rear - a bit stretched which is not what I really wanted but the wheels fill the flares out pretty well so alls good and it was all I could really get for any kind of reasonable money. The rota Alecia's look really cool in the flesh so I'm pretty happy with that Now onto fitting the rb25! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triptych Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Can you post a picture of them fitted? Was thinking of getting a set until I can afford my 16" Watanabes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d3c0y Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 I have just passed up a set of 9" and 10" 15s for this reason you just flat out cant get tyres for them. In japan they just run 225s on 10" rims and not care. 16s are bad enough as it is these days. There are a few different shapes of flares, make sure you choose the skinniest ones you can with those size wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
