Whats the SMALLEST tire that will fit on our stock wheels?

Just as the thread says ... I wanted to know what the smallest tire is that will fit our wheels. I have brand new Goodyears, that grip like a mother, and I dont want to waste them smoking them off. Lately theres been ALOT of cheap ( 25$ for 4 ) tires in the Classifieds, and im trying to pick up 2 (Or 4 for the rite price, smaller=cheaper) that I can get mounted on 2 junk wheels and have fun with, burn off, powerslide, stuff like that.

Also, if your getting rid of your stock rims and happen to be from around Pgh, PM me. I dont want to have to spend a ton of $ on two wheels to mount junk tires on lol.

the CHEAPEST tires that fit stock rims are 235 series but they look too small.. kinda stupid looking.

cheap though.



btw, $5-10 more gets you the proper size (there were only so many OEM 16" rims, so the right size is close in price) and its still cheap enough to burn up.

225's



I believe Nitto makes a 225/50/16 drag radial, whatever their 225/16 drag radial is fits, a buddy of mine tried them out to see if it would act like he put a smaller (numaricaly higher) gear in his car.

Re: Whats the SMALLEST tire that will fit on our stock wheels?

K Thanks guys. Im looking for used ones, so I wanted to know how small I can go.

Looks dont matter. I just want to have them on a set of wheels that I can bolt on, and beat the **** out of when I feel like it. ****, if I thought it wasnt dangerious, id grab two of them dinky little spares, throw them on every once n a while, and roast them. Heh my friend in his mustang thinks he can do a better burnout then I can ... So I was trying to find the cheapest way to prove him wrong. I dont wanna burn my new ones off so ...
