Title: Tyre sizes for 15" vert wheels
Post by: bonobo on April 21, 2008, 09:15:42 AM
I got some nice 15" BBS Vert wheels for my T2 and i\'m wondering what size tyres to go for? the stock tyres for the vert look pretty tall!

Stick with the standard size tyres for the rim - Mazda knew what they were doing :)

According to the Brochure the 15" BBS wheels for the TII Cab are shed with 205/60 VR15 Bridgestone tyres from the factory.

Sounds like the ones - I used to use Bfgoodrich profilers on my EGi (same size wheels) with good results :)

right sizes but remember they are only 6.5J so you could not go much wider anyway. personally i would have gone with the standard TII alloys as they are 7J and you can get a 225 tyre on them no probs.  But will still look good. I have the large socket spanner for the centre cover if you need one.
