Slick tyre sizes.

Im looking for some wider wheels and tyres for the rear end.

I would prefer road legal track day tyres but would settle for slicks. Looking for something like 235 or 245 x 15.

I have been through google and cant seem to find anyting suitable.
Anyone have any ideas?

Yokohama's are max 225 in 15's.
You'll be lucky to find slicks in anything but 13.

R888's have 235/50R15

thanks, i have looked at demon tweaks but couldnt find anything bigger than 225 on their website but they dont do 888's. I suppose a 235 will be better than the 205 that i run at the moment. And they would be perfect for an 8 inch rim.

Thats a good site, I really wish I could fit 13" on my striker but apparently they just wont fit. I need to do some research!!

What's stopping 13s from fitting? 13s dont fit on IRS Aries/ST cars supposedly, but where there's a will there's a way and now im taking advantage of used slicks

I could probably fit 13's on the back but my brakes on the front only just clear the 15 inch wheels.
