Ok so heres the deal,

I used to run a tyre shop and we sponsored an AE86 the guy ran 15x10's, 15x10.5's and 15x11 rims with 195/50R15 tyres the stretch was unbelievable heres a pic of when i bolted one to the coupe!










No probs running them on the track as long as we kept the pressure up around 40-44psi.

For the street there are laws governing the minimum tyre size than can be fitted to a rim (also maximum) so thats possibly why they wont want to put the 145 on the 7" rim! - I'm sure you guys all know the implications of going against the rules and regs in your states (no 3rd party or full comp insurance cover...ect...ect), you can get around it by telling the tyre guys that its for offroad use only, show car, track use..ect and guarantee them that you will not be using them on the road. That gets past the liability thing for them, I used to write it on the invoice to clear myself of any liability.

If they're having problems fitting them ask them if they have a "bead blaster" its used alot for truck tyres and 4wd tyres but works a treat for stretching tyres as well it basically is a tank that holds compressed air that you blast into the tyre to expand it onto the rim.




This is the 145/70R13 on a 7" rim

Heres a few sites than can help with tyre and rim related stuff

Tyrestretch.com

10 10 Tires - lots of good info on rim and tyre sizing

Hope this helps!

free bump for the sweetest tudoor thou!

such a nice looking B10 man, the cobra seats suit it.

just wondering what were the specs on the rims and tires in the first pic
type, width, offset/backspace, tyre sizes ect.. they worked so well on it, absolute perfection!!

cheers

Hey ruredi

Cheers!

found this thread looks like the investigation stalled abit

would be nice to know how they did the conversion and if they offer a kit for sale.

CG13 thread

Yep more info for the win, but definitely interested!

clyons8: yeh vector would be nice, but I don't have time to muck around trying to convert it and make it look good.

Thanx demacoz but it was about the same quality as the one I had.

Have just spent abit of time photoshopping and got it to look a alittle better shirt is ordered , we'll see how it turns out!

Yeah its ok

Could be better that's why i was looking for a Hires as this one has a low DPI and since I was gonna fork out for a shirt thought I'd have it the best I could.
I'll give it a go and see how the print turns out, then I'll see if anyone wants any.

D'oh!

Yeh I guess I can, let me sort out the image first then I'll post up a thread to take orders.




This is the one i have so far but as you can see it's pixelated a little bit at the bottom - stirlingmac is this the image you were talking about - wasn't sure as this one seems to have a flat grey on the carb not shiny foil.

How do you guys think the foil will scan? would be interested if it does and I would take good care of the decal and return it along with a tshirt.

Unless anyone has a good scan already? which would make it all alot easier?!
