5" wheels?

[Sickness]

Does anyone have a pic of a car with 5" fronts? What tire size should go good with that? Id really like about 26" tall and as narrow as possible...I know 165R15s are nice, but they might look goofy on 5" rims...I don't want them to look so small that they're goofy, but I also don't wanna look like a ricer with my steamrollers in the front :lol:...I would use 3.5's or 4's, but I'm afraid they might bend being this is a daily driver and will see LOTS of street driving...

Ive seen...

I local crackheads 5.0 car has a 5" wheel with the 165 and it looks goofy. I dont have pics but I personally wouldnt do it.

With a 5" wheel, run a 205/70/15 or a MT Sportman 26.5....

i run a 165 on a 4" rally and its fine for daily driving... just don't beat on it and watch out for potholes!

195/75s look great on a 5" wheel.

where...

Who makes a 195/75/15?

Id run those but I couldnt find them.

Just think that alot of stock steel rims are only 6" wide....so what looks good or OK on them would apply to a 5" rim.

And for the 195/75/15 tire a 195/70/15 would be very similiar, just about a 1/4"- 1/2" shorter side wall.

I get my 195s from a local "Discount Tire Outlet". He keeps them in stock just for our shop. I think thy sell for around $60 each if you need a couple.
