Tires size for ZX six spokes on 510 wagon

[reese]

I got the wheels now trying to decide on tire size. It will be lowered around 2" with ZX struts. There has to be many cars like this, what size tires do you run with no rubbing. I am thinking 195/60/14.

that or 185/60/14.

 

here my wagon is with ZX struts, flipped overload spring. and 185/60/14

There's a lot to be said for recognizable Nissan factory mags on older cars. Your subconscious make the connection and smiles. Nothing better than noticing the car first and then discovering the rims that work so well and compliment it.

 

I have 200sx factory rims on my 710 goon and 215/60R14s that fit even lowered. My guess is that there isn't that much difference between the goons or rims. Even so, going one size bigger on the backs or a size smaller on the fronts can give the illusion that the difference is much more than it is.

In the rear did you just flip the leaf or add blocks as well? How much did flipping one leaf lower it? This is my plan also. Thanks! You wagon looks great.

[Laecaon]

thanks! The rear has no blocks. I just flipped the overload spring upside down, and on top of the pack.

Yeah I think 185/60 or 185/55 is the way to go. These are 60 couldn't beat the price.

ZX struts cut to fit MR2 inserts with coil overs and the back, doesn't really concern you but it's Nissan Competition lowering springs, in case someone else is curious.
