Standard bbs.... What size tires does everyone run?

[BrAdZ]

Im thinking of getting a set but not 100% sure about going back to balloon tires.....

But im thinking if i put 50 profile tires on them they would look tiny in the arches?

Any pics off bbs on cars would be good

Thanks

15 or 14 in bbs?

205x55 seem comon on the 15s

I run stock 195x65 on my 14s but that's stock, not really good for performance. don't really care how it looks though.

[Jhonno]

205/55 is the proper size

[dazleeds]

205x55x15 def the prefered for the 15s mate and 195x50x14s

205/55/15

[Jhonno]

55's are hardly big

[jmc330i]

Ive had 205/50/15s on the back of mine. They did look a little small in the rear arches, but I reckon it was only really noticeable cause I had 205/55/15s on the front.

Would probably look ok if you had them all round.

Here you go...

Little bit dirty, but they are 205/55/15s.

Here's my car running on 195/55/15 and they look fine to me.

hmmm im still very undecided......my plan was this week to get some wheels but i just cant decide, really like the bbs but not sure on the size

[Kedge]

Heres a pic of mine on 195/50/15's,

think should have gone for 205s as theses look too small, going to lower it now to fill the arches.

[BrAdZ]

now that i like alot............Thanks for that....hmmm

I had 205/50/15's on my touring... looked good and handled brilliantly! Cheaper than the 55's too!

[BrAdZ]

do you have any pictures?

[Geeman]

Unfortunately no... it was a few years back now.

[Lordschleife]

I run 205/55/15
My spare BBS with r tyres are 205/50/15 and I found them fine
They're cheaper (for normal tyres) in that size too, but the load index of 205/50/15 isnt as high as it is for 205/55/15, not sure how much of a problem this is
Anyone know anything about load ratings?

[BrAdZ]

i dont think there would be a load problem, altho if you put a 50 & 55 on the rear you would work the diff pretty hard

I have just bought a set of 15"s - will be shod with 205/55/15 when I get round to it - can't wait to take the bottletops off !!
Anyone know if I need to change the mounting bolts ???

[johnono]

congrats on the bbsԚ´s g! found a set then`?



i have 205 55 15, and they look solid!

[GDBN]

Hello mate ... thought the site was a bit quiet with you away on your travels !! Found a guy on den blÃÂ¥ avis .... had 3x 15" and 2x 14" with centre caps ...ALL BRAND NEW ..never even seen a tyre !! Then Saturday went up to that guy with the "spare" ...bought that too. SO now I have 2 14's ...don't know if I should sell them or buy another 2 for winter use ??
You know if I need to buy new mounting bolts ??

[johnono]

whos a lucky geeza then! yeah, id keep the 14s, why not, even if you dont get another 2, you have them, and that cant be bad .

as for the mounting bolts, do you mean hjulbolte? if so then the ones u have should be fine and dandy dude

[Gwynleym10]

I have 285/10/15 that would look phat!!

Used to have 205/55/14 (that is true) they lloked pretty good actually
