The rim width range for those tires is typically 8.5-10". On a 7" rim, the sides will be very pinched in and may not make a good seal. Also, the contact patch will suck because the tire will be so convex at the apex. I recommend that you find a good set of tires that will fit. Run those at your own risk.
BTW, why would you want that wide of tire on the back? Do you have a GT4? If not, running wide tires like that on the back of a FWD car is.....silly. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
