The A6 Celica/Carina topic
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 AndrewGL |

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. 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. 1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project 2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver 2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain Support our forum, buy from the AEU86 shop: |

@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.
