Autocross: Because Life is more fun on three wheels......
"I know Solo only comes one minute at a time, but what an intense, non-stop, fast-forward car control exercise minute it is. Sure, the velocity is higher in road racing, but inside the car it is slow-motion in comparison. In Solo, the turns come like machine-gun rounds. "

the stock steel wheels are 19LBS and measure 15X5.5... the silpstreams in 15X7 weigh in at 13LBS.... even the stock alloys are only 16LBS, and they are narrow too.

they can be hard to find some times, and you need to make sure your getting the 15X7s Vs the 15X6.5s but there are a few places that carry them.
and your stock tires would fit on a 15X7, I''d look funny, but they would fit. so, no. Tires for that wheel would not be hard to find.

The falken azenis, while listed as being a 205/50-15... actually measure out to 218 and they love to be mounted on a wide wheel... I've seen them mounted on a 15X8 before.... they looked like they were the width of a 235...
any way, for our cars, the azenis 205/50-15 mounted on a 15X7 is a Great setup.

i figured as much. i run 215 azenis, and they are just as wide as the 225 S03s i was running before.

the S03s wear 5x as good as the azenis. the azenis seem to stick just a bit better. if i was choosing tires based entirely on a performance standpoint, i would go with the azenis. if i wasnt doing any racing and was looking for high performance street tires, i would go with the S03s.
