What is the largest size tire in width & height I can run on my 03 oem OZ rims with out any problems?

 

Haven't seen much outside the oe 195/60-15 w/out fitment issues.

 

Why would you want to run a big *** tire anyways?

 

I imagine they're the same size as the 04-06 OZ wheels, which have a stock tire size of 195/60 15. I run summers on my stock wheels, and get them in 205/55 15. There have been no issues running that size, and the overall diameter isn't out by much.

 

Because grip is better than stretch any day of the week.

 

Lol my tires aren't even really stretched, I mean if you knew the difference you'd be able to tell from the pictures.

 

Thanks for the info I have a set of 205-55-15 on my 01 Miata can use them.

 

Get alittle more rubber on the ground & fill up the wheel well some more. Dont like seeing alot of wheel well around the tires makes it look wimpy.

 

Bigger can mean more than one thing when you're talking tires.

Do you want a taller sidewall? Or do you want a wider foot print?
If you want a bigger foot print, by all means, go for it.
But if you're talking about getting a taller sidewall then you're out of your mind. Unless you're going to buy tires with a super fkin stiff sidewall, your handling will be total cr@p. A sidewall of 60 in the tire size range of the Lancer already flexes like mad on semi-hard turns... imagine how it would be if the sidewall was even taller...

If you want to fill the fender/tire gap, work on the suspension. Don't just get taller tires.

 

Well I really like to know if a 235-50-15 tire on a oz stock rim will work without any problem. Sidewall height is 4.63 - Stock oz tire is 4.61 But the 235 is 1.97 wider than the stock oz tire.

 

235?
I'd pay to see it fit.

Why would you need 235 on a Lancer anyway?

 

I would say a 215 tops. What numbers are you putting down where you feel a 235mm tire is necessary?

 

Even 205 looks wide for the stock wheels. I'd be surprised if a 215 would even fit.

 

Ok so I looked at my car and if you look at the rear drum, it says 205mm max. I'm guessing a 205 tire is as wide as you should go.

 

I currently have 185/65/15 88T on my lancer. Just curious will 165/55/15 be ok to put on the rims?

P.S. New Lancer owner car is a week and half old to me.
