heh, SSR Mesh wheels are actually knock offs of an old school BBS mesh wheel (BBS E50.2)
so next time someone talks about "knock off wheels", just remember the japanese started doing it long before the koreans/chinese Last edited by dorkidori_s13; 12-20-2013 at 10:20 AM.. |

Awesome looks. I personally like 15"/16" wheels. Had some 16x8 -20 & 16x10 -44 on my last S13. Love the ride on thick tires. Handles like a beast with meaty rubber.

dropping from 18s to 17s with a thicker tire made a noticeable difference in ride quality on my s13. I'm loving the thick sidewall tires on 15s on my miata now too. plus it looks cool. |

Now you're deleting my comments once a point is made against you?
I thought this was a forum where ideas would be SHARED! Not ignored and banned. No one is asking you to agree with me but you don't have to be all power hungry and delete threads and comments that you don't like Dori. |

It wasn't Dori who deleted your comment.

curious question, will a 205/60/R15 still sit at the same height on a 15x8 as it would on a 15x6? Im not trying to go for the stretched tire look on my SSR meshies when I get them done. Im looking to square up the tire or add just a little more meat to the setup. Ive never really done fitment or proper tire sizing with 15s before, so this is a new venture (i ran 17s and 18s on my last 240 coupe)

25.4mm = 1". A 205 is 49mm under 10". Just about 2" under. So they will be Squeezed and round on the 15x6 and fit Just right on the 15x8. Brand and tire construction comes into play with the look as well. Definitely wanna go with 185 or 195 on the 6" wide wheels Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2 |

Dori! I'm very excited about those shirts. Definitely getting one. My car has 205/60 on a x8 and it definitely doesn't have stretch. So were onto tire choices? The ssrs must be coming together!
