Reply to "Alternative Tires"

@ericthered I am not familiar with a 5.50-15 but I pulled my conversion chart from Tire Rack and it does show a 5.60-15 and that diameter tire is the same as a 155/80 or a 195/65, both of which fit fine on the back of a Spyder.  HOWEVER, one thing to keep in mind is that these tire sizes seem to be a general guideline.  I can put 3 different brand 155/80s alongside each other and there will be noticeable differences...


As for 4.5 vs 5.5, that's a whole different can of worms...  the 5.5 is fine for the rear of the car IF you have the properly matched offset and axle length.  Unfortunately the standard steel 5.5 wide fives are not available in a wide variety of offsets so they require short axles.
