neilg Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Hi everyone, Sorry to start a thread for this as its a daft question. What is the smallest tyre size width i can put on a 8" wide jap front wheel?? Will something like a 225 go on ok? Dont care about how the car is going to drive or anything like that, im just wanting 2 front tyres that are legal to transport the car somewhere. I can get loads of old tyres but obviously something like a 225 is a lot easier to find than a 245. Anybody help?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lez Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 The original stock wheels were 16s 8JJ 225/50/16 and 9JJ 245/45/16 with rolling diameter 631mm & 627mm respectively However, from Aug94 the optional stock wheels were 17s 8JJ 235/45/17 and 9.5JJ 255/40/17 making the rolling diameters 643mm & 636mm respectively. So what size wheels have you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Neil, 225 wide tyres will be fine on 8" wheels. As Lez said that was the OE width for the 16" Supra wheels. It's matters not whether it's 16 or 17" diameter wheels, 225 tyres on 8" wheels are fine as long as you get ones of a suitable aspect ratio.
