Craven Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Would these tires fit on a un-lifted Gen 2 brat? Roadmaster Rampage GT http://www.roadmastertires.com/us/en/ProductDetails.asp?ProdType=Passenger&id=109 235/60/14 25.06" tall 7.60" wide I've got a set of Mazda SE5 14"x 6.50" truck wheels, that I plan on using. I thought I read that a tire under 25" tall would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the sucker king Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 i think it was the guy with the board name archemites put something similar on a hatch and made it fit w/ some banging. his were 15" but similar diameter. get in touch w/ him for details.

mcbrat Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 yeah, they should fit. lots of people run 185/80R13 and they are 24.7" diameter. Archemitis has my old 15" pug alloys and tires. they are 205/65R15 I think. for sure, they are 25.5" diameter.... you might have to do a little "trimming"/"adjusting" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbrat Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 probably unweighted.... I always use this.... http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craven Posted July 13, 2004 Author Share Posted July 13, 2004 The Brat I picked up, came with the stock wheels and new 185/70/13 tires and they just look too small for the truck. I just want a tire and wheel that will fill the wheelwells, but not rub and without having to hack up the body. I like the width of this tire over 7 1/2", they should look and work good.

archemitis Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 ya 205 65 r15 is what im runin around town with. fit right on the rear. front needed the usual seam pounded down, and the front fenders needed about an inch. but... my hatch must have had newer suspension put on in its 200k mile life, because its sitin pretty high.after some pretty good offroadin, i didnt have any shreaded tires, eithe. its surely worth a try, and will look mean!_!

The adjustments you made to make them fit up front honestly are not noticible. I even knew where to look and you couldnt tell anything was done unless you got down on one knee and stuck your head down into the fenderwell. Most people wont even know what to look for even if they noticed something was funny. 235/60/14 ? Go for it !_! Oh wait am I talking about EA81's again? **Disclaim** I have never owned an EA81 and therefore know nothing about them **Disclaimed** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
