Hi everyone,

I'm running 15" rims, and I'm wondering what tyre widths people are using? What's the widest you can get away with front and rear?

Reason for asking is my dad is about to swap the tyres on his Scorpio and I'm hoping to use the old tyres for now to roll my chassis on...

Thanks,
Josh

Im using 195/45/16 tyres they fit snuggly under the saturn body work. Just make sure your wheels have the correct offset.

Thats the same wheels and tyres that came with my donor. Kind of fills the arches a bit and wondered it they would scuff up the body when under load.The other thing was they came with 2" spacers, just wondered if they are the wrong offset. Does any one know off the top of their head what the offset should be?

Offset should be 35-38mm front and back i.e same mine are set at 38mm
