What size tyres?
« on: November 21, 2012, 07:35:20 PM »
Hi everyone, I'm getting very close to getting my van back on the road so I need to get some new tyres. My rims are 15x8. Engine is 173 with 3.5 diff ratio.

I was thinking 225/60 15's as I think this comes pretty close to the standard diameter?


Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks

Thanks mate. Thats a little smaller dia than the 225/60/15 but not by much. This reminds me though that I will probably have to changed the speedo drive gear?
