wheel tire combo advice

[bobbyspider]

sup everybody. i havnt been on here very much lately but still in the game and have both my funboxes

heres my question. i need a good tire for my 13x8 diamond racing wheels. i have been searching for 13" tires and the sizes seem scarce. i want to have some stretch to the tires but not to extreem i dont want to be riding on sidewall, just enough for some style to it and to help with any fender rub ill run into. im not the most savy when it comes to tires so if anyone has any advice on what to get that would be great.

185/60 or 175/60 for a little more stretch and a smaller sidewall. I have 175/60 in my sig pic.
what offset are your wheels?

[bobbyspider]

at this point i dont know what the offset is. the wheels came with the car, i bought it from silv3rbull3t off the site but i dont think he is here anymore. he used the car to autox and would run slicks on it, wheels stuck out good but didnt interfeer with the sispension as far as i know. did you have to cut

Wow, eight inch wide wheels beg for at least a 195 or 205 wide tire. There may be some 195 or 205 sixties still around to buy, but they'll be getting rare.

Those wheels were made for race rubber sizing!

You are going to have a hard time finding wide/low 13s that aren't race compound.

And since no matter how much you stretch your tires, or roll your fender, nothing is going to fit under your fenders with that offset and width.

I had to cut my fenders and flare them to fit 8in 0 offset with 195s

Stretched tires that don't fit under the fender will look dumb, and defeats the purpose of stretching. Since they are gonna poke I'd go with 205/60s or 215/50s if you can find them.

This miata has 13x8 0 offset with 185/60s


Here is a 215/50



Here are some 205/60 on 13x8

Thats a pretty tall tire though...
