Can anyone tell me what are the tyres size and brand options to fit to 6x10 rims? Are 165s too narrow?

i have yoko a008's on there and they are fine. a032r's fit better alng with formular R's but they are much softer and faster wearing tyres.

Cheers

Aaron

You wouldn't have any pics hand so I can see how the tyres look would you?

Thanks. I have noticed every brand has a slightly different look.

Do you reckon the 6in rims improve handling even though the width of the tyre hasn't changed?

5's are better in my opinion, not so wide so as to damage your flares.

Cheers

I've heard that compared to 5s, when the 6s let go, they do so more abruptly.
5s are more progressive, as the tyre rolls a little more... so you have more chance to catch it. :wink:

I run 10x5s on mine, 10x4.5s on the wife's...

The 5s do sound more practical and I thought less movement in the tyre wall may be a problem. But these 6s for sale do look good.

I'd get them if i could run 10's over my brakes.

I would have already bought them if he would post them interstate.....

Then again... postage would be about $250 ontop of the sale price....... so maybe not
