Hi there,

Can somebody tell me, what could be the factory tire size of a TA62 coupe? I'm attaching a pic below, those wheels were on my car, when i bought it.
I think those are stock A6 Carina rims and tires. Their size is 175/70R13.
A friend of mine works for a Toyota dealer, and i asked him to look for the stock tire size in his program. He told me, that the progam say the factory size is "185/70HR13" and "165SR13".
I'm searching for the CelicaSupra P-type rims, and hopefully i have found a set for sale nearby (i'm going to look at it tomorrow). It's 7" wide and as i read, the minimal tire width is 195 for a 7" wide wheel. I dont know which tire would i choose to aviod the known problems regarding the mismatching rolling radius...

Thanks
Andrew

From experience I know my ae86 did not have any rubbing problems with 195/55 R14 on those CS rims.
The L-type 15 inch I currently have on my Carina do have a different offset (+20 instead of +8 ) and don't have rubbing on the inside of my Carina with 195/60 R15.

The 7 inch should have 1 millimeter less clearance on the inside and should be extending 2,5 cm on the outside. I can mesure if 2,5 cm should give you enough clearance on the fenders. Smile

I know from experience that 185/60 R14 does fit on those 7J:

And 165/50 R14 is also possible and should give you a nice stretched look. Thumbs up!

And then do a headlight conversion and add some nicer rims? Dumb question

Its ok, but how (i mean from which database) do you know the diameter of the wheel? Which size did you considered as base, to choose a correct wheel size in 15"?

@AndrewGL: My Carina featured the 165 R13 combo without any height indication. I measured them and came to the conclusion they had to be about 165/83 R13. Then I used a tire calculator and matched 165/85 R13 with the 185/60 R15 combo to maintain the same size.

@The Doctor: Live axles rule! Tongue
