tire size for ten hole rims

[BDASPNY]

the tires on my 86gt project are bald and need replacing. the car isnt driven much since its a long term project. a buddy of mine is selling a full set of almost new 205-65-15. while i know that isnt the correct size or the optimal for performance would they fit without any rubbing issues? thanks for any help!

225 60 is stock so wont rub. Will almost be to narrow for the rim.

that was one of my concerns also. they are coming off a 99-04 stock v6 rim. i was hoping for the price they would work.

Take this with a grain of salt since each tire manufacturer is different... http://www.yokohamatire.com/tires_10...m_wheel_width/

thanks! thats a cool list. ill have to look up the sizes on both rims and compare.

by coincidence the tires are yokohama.

Cool. I'm glad it will work for you.

Just food for thought, if you're basically looking for shop tires to park it on while you restore it, and they'll hold air then that's a good idea if you can get them really cheap, like $50 or something. If you're planning on driving it, you're going to want wider tires for the rims because they look better and have better grip. You can get a decent set of tires for about $80 apiece. I know sometimes cash determines what we do, and it's not always what we'd prefer to do, so I get that. It's just that once you get them mounted and balanced, you're probably going to be in it for another $60 on top of whatever you pay for them...if you're going to be done working on the car in 6 months and wanting to drive it the way you're probably wanting to drive it, you're going to toss those tires and put on new ones. Might be better off waiting until then to spring for the ones you really want.

ill put it into perspective. 99% new only 100 for all four and a buddy is going to swap them out. cant get much cheaper. the car still runs and drives as well.
