Question:

Tire Size?!?

I just recently bought some staggered Rota D2‘s for my 1990 240sx. But i am completely clueless on what tire goes on them!The tires sizes are17x7.517x8.5Please help!!

Answer:

If your 240 originally was fitted with P195/60R15 86H tires then the ideal replacement size would be 205/45R17 XL 88W inflated to 34 psi front and rear. The only caveat would be that the recommened rim widths for this tire size are 6.5 to 7.5 inches. Your rears are a bit wide. If your 240 originally was fitted with P205/60R15 90H tires then the ideal tire size is 215/45R17 87W inflated to 30 psi front and rear. You could also use these as an alternative to the above tire on the rear as these can be safely mounted on wheels up to 8.0 inches - a good tire mounter can squeeze these on 8.5's. It will also give you a bit of that staggered look that is all the rage these days.
