maxed_out Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Just wondering if anybody has tried 60's on the rear of 91 LS? I'm currently setup with 16 225 55Z. I know the book says no and they wont fit in front but I'm tempted to put them on the rear. Opinions? Man I love this car. Didnt think it could happen but it did.

1990LS400 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I used 225/60-15's on all four standard wheels for several years and there was plenty of clearance. I would be surprised if 225/60-16's did not fit since that size became standard in 93. Do you know anyone with a 93-up who would let your put his spare on your car to see? You are not going to mix tire sizes front to rear are you? The early LS (I had a 90) was very balanced and I suspect the handling could get very strange if tire sizes were mixed.

silvermate Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 do you have 15" wheels? or later gen 16's? the standard tire for the LS 15's is 205 55 15 the standard tire for the LS 16's is 225 60 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxed_out Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 the standard tire for the LS 15's is 205 55 15 the standard tire for the LS 16's is 225 60 16 Thanks guys. No I bought a set of new rims which are 16's-my 15s were in really bad shape. I guess thats were things get grey with respect to the book. The car is a 91LS. 55s fit fine. the 60 is odviuosly taller. I dont know if they changed body clearances when they went to bigger wheels in later years?? Its just to close to call if its gonna rub. Prior post has me thinking if I mismatched and had 55 on front and 60 on rear I confuse the anti-lock too because of the slightly different rotation speeds. Anybody ever try a mismatch? Anybody running 16 225 60s on a 91LS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92Lex Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Right here. I'm running 225/60/16 on my 91LS. It fills in the gap real good without any rub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxed_out Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hey 92 Lex nice looking LS ....Thanks. You da man. I'm in and I'll give it a go. Love this board! Maxed PS have you ever attmpted to get a new phone going with the beast thats in the car? I saw some posts here but can't find out exactly how to do it. It would be cool to pump it through the sound system and use the micro on the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
