hi everyone,

so I want to change my tire on my xjs 1987 v12, I want to keep the original wheel the 15 inch (XJS starfish alloy wheels).

I want to have an agressive look on this wheels, and I have the stock suspention

do you thinks its gone a fit if I put 255-60r15 and 235-60r15 on this wheel

I read a lot and I don't fine any place on internet who talk about this size on that car

thanks gut

sorry for my english im a fench guy I tried to do my best

Firstly welcome. Your english is better than my French.

If you are keeping the stock rim then you should go for the 235/60-15 as the 255/60-15 have an approved rim width starting at 7.0", the 235 will also keep your speedo more accurate than the 255/60's.

What happens when you fit wider tyres on a narrow rim is the tread bends so you get no benefit from going too wide.

 

Wow ok Because on the bfgoodrigh website i need to have 7 inch and the wheel is 6.5

Maybe I can put 245-60r15 on my rear tire and 235-60-15 on front tire?

And want an agressive look

 

If all you want is the look, go for it ! Nothing horrible will happen but you might wear out the center of the tires faster and the car might have a bit of a mushy feel.

Truth is, the 6.5" wheel width was too narrow to get the best out of even the 235/60x15 size.

Cheers
