MA61 14*7 rims on a Celica ...	Sun, 01 August 2004 14:14

Hi guys, I have a set of these rims and was wondering since there are a couple of you celica boys running these rims on your ra65s, what tyres do you use for these rims ? I just wanna get an idea ... also the cost of the tyres u use for these rims would be great too (that's if you purchased some recently!) Lez Thanks [Report message to a moderator]

I have 205/60/14s on mine. Not the easiest size to get in a performance tyre anymore. Anyway, I got that size becuase I didn't want them to rub (1" lowered) and for a straight sidewall. Personallyu, I think the car looks undertyred, and 215s would be a better bet IMO. I can take pics if you like. EDIT: Oh yeah. Toyo... 600F3s I think they are. Were 135 a corner. Good tyres, but squeel a bit (might just be the way I drive) [Updated on: Mon, 09 August 2004 13:16] [Report message to a moderator]

LOL yeah there was that consideration too. My car is non P/S too - join the club with me & Nark!

These are just pics I found that I already had on the computer - I'll try and take some better ones for you tommorow.

Sometimes it's hard to drive - but I'm pretty sure that's because of being lowered without RCAs and the steerign geometry being wrong. Shit yeah - non P/S A6s are RARE [Report message to a moderator]

No problems at all, and that's lowered 1" w/ Kings springs. It is a bit heavy sometimes to park, but that's it. Sorry i haven't been able to get pics yet - I will this weekend for you Smile

Try increasing your tyre pressures a little bit.

I run between 34-36 Smile

You're right though, my memory of them squeeling a lot was when they were first put on and only around 30-32.

205/70 sounds like a tall profile, Viper. Were you running stock springs? I'm thinking that bouncy soft springs would be worse for clearance than stiff lower ones.

Les, wait until I show you more pics, okay? I'll get them for you tommorow. I really think you might want something a tad wider, they just look wrong from most angles except face on like I showed you.

I got them from Dowling McCarthy (not sure if this is a mainland chain or not) but there weren't many left anywhere in that size, and this was some time ago. Work out what size you want, then ring up a lot of tyre shops and ask what they recommend. Only reason I went there was because my local shop didn't really sell toyos.

Second that. I'm after 205/60R14 for my MA61 wheels on TA22 and there's not a lot out there. Nankang EX601 Yokohama S306 Sumitomo HTR200 um, Toyo RA1 (205/55R14) but now you're talking motorsport tyres. [Updated on: Fri, 13 August 2004 02:59] [Report message to a moderator]

Here you go Les, (crap) pics as promised: http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre1.jpg http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre2.jpg http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre3.jpg http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre4.jpg http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre5.jpg http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre6.jpg http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre7.jpg http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre8.jpg http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre9.jpg http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre10.jp g http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre11.jp g http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre12.jp g http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre13.jp g http://www.speedtoys.com/~stefan/temp/205tyre14.jp g The camber of the road means that the wheel-fender gap is a bit smaller on the left side and a bit bigger on the right side, but I'm sure you'll get the idea. Hope this helps you choosing tyres - if they'res anyhting else you need, LMK. [Report message to a moderator]
