14x6 ZX rims, what size tires?

[nvestor88]

What size tires are members running on their 510? This is the 6 star factory wheel. I'd like a lower stance look....

[510T]

185/55R14 for the lows, 22" diameter.

 

[Dolomite]

I'd run 195 or 205, I'm not a fan of any noticeable stretch.

[qwik510]

I'm running 195-60-14

Both my 710s have 5.5JJ X 14 factory mags. One has 215/60R14s on the back. That's about 8.5" wide and they look fine. My goon has 195/60R14 that are over 7.5" wide.  Generally wide is better, and better looking that too narrower. I wouldn't go less that the rim width or they look like rubber bands.  I know it's a 'look' thing but wider grips better also. Over 7" starts to look a little pretentious and driving in bad weather takes more attention. Might even be worse on a lighter car.

 

 

Slots were out of style by the time the zx came out. I don't think those are zx or any other Z car factory rims, just after market. Somewhat period correct and look great on a 510..

I think I'm running 205/60r14 on those rims.

 

 

Here's how it sits at the fender.

Those are factory mags. The 720 ST has a 6 bolt one identical to it.

I always ran a 185/60-14. A little shorter in height than a 195, but not as short as the 185/55. Good for moderate lows, less rubbing. 

 

 

 

 

But also good for the "too lows"...   :rofl:

Is 205/50/14 too wide?

[datzenmike]

8" wide and 22" tall. The 510 came with 5:60 13s which would be close to 23.2" diameter so a little short which will throw the speedo out and lower the car very slightly.

 

These are closer to stock in 14" rim

 

205/55R14 is 8" and 22.88" tall.

205/60R14 is 8" wide and 23.7" tall

[510freak]

185/60/14 like datsunfreak said.

If you want off road tall tires,the others work

Is 205/50/14 too wide?

 

What is "too wide"? It won't rub if that's what you mean. But, they will stick out in front if you don't have 280ZX struts.

 

Heck, even a 185/60-14 will stick out a tiny bit without 280ZX struts...  ^_^

Other than Mickey Thompson Drag Radials, I'd love to know where you're going to buy that size, though...   ^_^
