225x60x16's on Beretta?

Post by steve3408 »

Does anyone have larger tires on their beretta? without rubbing or tearing up the tires?
I want to put the 225x60x16 Goodyear white letters on a '95  and hopefully they wont be a problem,dont want to raise the car,or modify fenders...etc. I know the 205's will fit of course,but they still have that small tire look to them,would like to step up to a little bigger tire and fill the openings a little more.Any ideas?

no, stick with the stock size and then lower the car to get rid of the gap

60 series on a Beretta?

Are you NUTS?

Maybe do some research on tire sizes and "aspect ratios".

That is about the most GHETTO thing I have heard!

Well you havent heard much in your sheltered life then.
Standing by the car looking at it would be very difficult to tell the difference,its only less than a inch difference in the sidewalls,less than an inch in the radius and only a little over an inch in tire diameter over the 205/55-16
Maybe you should do the research on tire sizes too,maybe youre NUTS!
Ghetto lookin' is the stupid lookin' "forklift tires" on cars that look like they belong to a mexican.(or maybe Canadian)  
BTW 215/60's Goodyears work just fine,look great on it.
Just wanted to go with the "Nascar" tires

well, I dont exactly know what your thinking but that will be taller than the stock tire and wider.  My 225/50R16s are less than a .5" from rubbing on the spring seat.  I'm pretty sure 60's will rub.

Okay,Thanks for the info. 215X60-14's clear pretty well and look good too.Just wanted to get some input from other drivers before i buy tires for the Z26 wheels . I was thinking maybe 215 X60's, but guess i better stick with the 50 series tires.Thanks
