ninefourteener Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) I still have plands to do a 6-lug conversion, 15x7s w/ a zero offset, and 225/50/15 tires. But.... I'd kinda like to get thids thing on the road... and a cheap set of 13" tires for my stockers would help facilitate that at a low cost. Not only are the tires on them toast, they are TINY and SKINNY. What is an appropriate tire size for the stock 13s on a 78 Brat that would fill out the wheelwells nice and wide, with an appropriate height (not lifted looking) Suggestions?? Pics wouls be REALLY helpful Edited July 9, 2010 by ninefourteener Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninefourteener Posted July 10, 2010 Author Share Posted July 10, 2010 No suggestions? I've done quite a bit of reading, I know there are a lot of topics out there, full of lots of opinions, but very little conclusive evidence. The general conscensus is that a 185/80/13 is a good size..... so is a 185/70/13. I actually found a set of new 185/80s today.... and they looked thinner than the 155s that are on there now. Current progress (see why I need tires???) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sube4x4 Posted July 16, 2010 Share Posted July 16, 2010 BAAAAAAADDDDDDAAAA$$$$$!!! 6in lift with some 27's would look sweet! Or drop it a few inches? Nice brat man. -cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninefourteener Posted July 16, 2010 Author Share Posted July 16, 2010 Thanks!!! I actually found a REALLY clean set of very slightly used 185/80/13s for $100. I picked them up 2 days ago. Last night I completely sanded the wheels..... Refinishing them tonight/tomorrow in silver to match the stripes I have every intention of going with some 15x7 steelies and a suspension drop..... but in the meantime I just want to get it on the road..... been working on this thing 2 years and I've never actually driven it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
