Just got Turbo2 rims for my FC

[Gabriel82]

So I just got some turbo2 rims for my FC. I was wondering what is the biggest size in toyo proxies people have ran on the rims. I don't want it to get destroyed by rubbing but enough to give it that fat look.

Most people but 225's on them. Hell I had 225's on the 15" BBS vert wheels.

well the tires that my rims came with are 235's and one of them is a 245 I like how fat the 245 is but I wonder if it will fit in the front without rubbing. Be advised that my car is dropped on tanabe springs.

Staggered may look cool, but it isn't ideal in the twisties. I had staggered wheels on my FC (225's front, 245's rear). It pushed so much in tight high speed corners. Not fun.

I switched to BBS vert wheels with 225/50/15's on all 4 corners. WOW what a difference.

I don't know if 235's will clear on stock wheels, and tanabe's are known to be a fat spring up front.

hmm well thanks for the feedback I think I will just consider 225's. Come to think of it I do believe they are 225's but what about in the rear can I run 245's?

Or should I just stick to the same size all around since I will be buying all weather tires.

djmtsu: any experiences with toyo proxies? +/- feedback?

I haven't run Toyo's in forever. I have the Falken 912's on the Volvo, and Kuhmo SPT's on the RX-8. I ran Kuhmo AST's on everything else for years, Miata, FC, etc.

It is up to choice really. Unless you want hardcore sticky tires, there are alot of tires you can get and be happy.

I want some good good! all weather tires. My car has been missing in action and I just want to enjoy it. But thanks for the insight I'll take it to consideration.
