Title: Tires P205/65r15 All-season ?
Post by: egspot on November 12, 2005, 04:58:25 PM


i got some fair tires from my 1996 Taurus. If they do fit, what would it require?

Thanks

imho, anything larger than a 165 looks pretty awfull on the front.

on the rear however, a 205-65 should tuck in there pretty nicely.

did you get 4 tires? if so, would you consider parting with 2?

*edit* i just noticed you said stock vw rim. what's that? 4\"s or 4.5\"s? i can never remember. that prolly wouldnt work. they would fit better on a 5.5\"or 6\" wide rim.

hell no if it's a 4.5\" rim which is stock a 205 won't fit.

i had a 195 on mine and the rim was sucking in the tire, looked weird but it JUST fit on there,

Between 1/8\" and 3/16\" meat on them (fair.) Yours if you want them. Drop me an e mail for your proximity and  I let you know.
