Tire question?
 

I could not find the answer in search, but will P215/55/R16 fit on stock rims for my 87?

That's super close to what size tire I have on my 91, but I do not know.

yes ssssssssssssssssssss

thanks all...

I think the acutal size is 225/50/16s but you can always got to tire rack and look, i would think the tires would look funny on the car seeing how the one your going to put on are taller then stock

Funny?...wouldn't it just make the car seem to sit higher off the ground?

well i dont know how much taller the sidewall would be or how much higher the supra would appear because the first number 215 is the width of the the lip on the rim, the second number 55 is the ratio which determines the height of the sidewall and of course the third number 16 is the diameter of the rim. so since the first post said it was 215/55/16 and the next post said it was 225/50/16 they would be about the same, almost not even noticeable.

well I had them put on the stock rims and it looks fine.

Im running 225/55/16 in the rear and 225/50/16 in the front. Dont the 215's look skinny?
What kind of tires did you get?

got firestone tires...got cheap ones to put on the stock rims..I want to get new 17" rims but not until next year...but they look fine to me...I don't notice a big difference from the 225's I had on there before

I've got 225/50/16 in front and 245/50/16 in the back.. i get comments all the time on how they look "beefy" i think they fit well

You got teh 245/50/16 in the back with the stock rims?
PICS?:)

the answer
 

the flange is the most important part on your rim for example "5j" that is what determines how wide you can go on your tire . the flange is what takes the most punishment on your sidewall .



I do a lot of testing and development for good year , and would like to help if i can ...well try at least lol .

well 225/50/r16 225 (the higher the number the wider the tire) is the width 50 (the lower the number the lower the profile) is the hight and r16 is the rim size i went to tire rack and looked it up, just went for replacment wheels and the repair manual might tell you..

So mine lookes like it should your probly looks more like the tires on my dad tacoma he has 215/55/r14 or somthing like that taller and skinnyer

ok 225/50 R16

225 is your width yes , its 225 mm wide 50 is your sidewall height (50 % of 225 mm) R stands for radial construction and 16 is your rim diameter .

then there's a lot of smaller letter explaining your load index rating speed and construction date ext ext.

well you said "Funny?...wouldn't it just make the car seem to sit higher off the ground?"

My answer was no cause my tire's are a lower profile then yours are. Cause of the 50. I guess i should have said that from the start sry.
