ok i've searched coutless thradess. and asked many people... i'm kinda frustrated.. i keep hearing different.
i was told by someone that all 240rims size 15 were the same size.. 15x6.5...
i know the s13 se rims were r15x6.5" but i traded my friend for his s14 base model rims and $200. i was told they ar r15x6.5 as well... whats the deal does anyone know for sure..?..
i am planning on running 205/60/15 yoko avs es100's on there so i kinda wann make sure thanx

Dousan_PG · 02-18-2003, 12:17 PM

s13 SE rims are 15x6 +40

CoasTek240 · 02-18-2003, 12:24 PM

ok then.. well are u saying the s14 base rims are 15/6 as well?...
also what size spacers do people run on their s13se rims to get them to clear z-brakes adn suspension

edit: is it ok to run 205 on 6" wide rims?.. they are reccomended stock 195... so i figure it'll be aiight

Dousan_PG · 02-18-2003, 12:27 PM

dont quote me on this

iirc

base s14 are same 15x6

to clear z brakes? er..not sure. for s13 depends on the design, some years had more spoke clearance on back.

i dont know what size spacer never tried/cared.

CoasTek240 · 02-18-2003, 01:06 PM

so is it cool to run 205 tires on 6" wide wheels.. i need max grip

Dousan_PG · 02-18-2003, 01:09 PM

yeah you can. but you are still getting a lot of sidewall flex.

AKADriver · 02-18-2003, 02:20 PM

Stock S13s with the Sport Package ('89-'90) or the SuperHICAS package ('91-'93) had 205/60-15's stock on the 15x6's.

It's fine.

If you're worried about sidewall flex get a good tire with stiff sidewalls.

I've got no complaints about my current setup (205/60-15 Yokohama AVS Intermediate on steelies) aside from the lack of caliper clearance.

avs intermediates.. those look like butt.. do those have grip. i'm prolly ordering the YOKO avs es1000 they are onyl $75 each
total of $333 shipped... 205/60/r15
they rule

I have the Intermediates on my other rims (225's on 15x7) and they are pretty grippy, but I wore through them in just 6 months. The grip came from a really soft compound not good design. Its close to a 10 year old model so thats why they are so cheap now. I think they are being phased out.
