WTB: Used Race Rubber for 16" wheel

Post by OvenMitts »

I'm looking for some 205-225 width tires for a 16" wheel, OR bigger tires already mounted on a wheel that will fit a subaru. (less than 8" wide, 40-53mm offest, 5x100)

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks

I have two 225/50/16 and two 245/45/16 victoracers that I will give you if you want them. They are just sitting in my garage right now. I can't say that they will win you any trophies, but they are free.

Although they vary only slightly in diameter, I wouldn't run two different size tires on an AWD car.

I've been wondering about that- if you get them shaved to the same diameter, would they work? It might put a bit more stress on the drivetrain because 2 tires could do more work, but not much more than a difference in camber and so on. Any ideas?

thanks for the offer jay, i'll keep them in mind.

How worn are they?

How much do you want for them?

Jason,
if Matt doesn't take your offer, can I have them? No trophies are just fine with me :D

They are definitely used, but you are more than welcome to have them.

Jon- I don't think 245's will fit on my car, so I'm sure you'd get better use out of the set. They're all yours, man.

Bump!

In my ongoing effort to get my pirelli's to "race depth", one suffered a blowout, so I am in need of just about any decent 16" rubber now.
