andrewbaru Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Soobie Friends! I need to get some new tires for my '81 GLF hartop. It's got the stock steel rims and has 175/70 tires on the 13" rims. Does anyone know if I can go to a wider (to a 75, 80, or 85) tire with my stock rims? Also, has anyone owned a GLF coupe with the alloy wheels? I'd love to see what they look like. Would love to get some like the gold Enkei on the 'wheels' info page, but cannot track any down. Thanks for any help! Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravelRX Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 75, 80 or 85 will be a taller tire, not wider. Try a 195/60/13, or better yet a 205/60 13. That's pushing the limit for the wheel width. go to tirerack.com and learn how tire sizing works. they have a good explanation page. Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet82 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Put out a thread in the "Market Place" forum and see what's available. They might be a little tough to come by picking through junk yards... Good Luck, Glenn 82 SubaruHummer 84 GL Mad Max 01 Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
