Default looking for some early offset rear phone dials + question about tires

As topic said, Going to run 4x8" phone dials all the way around so looking for 2 rear phone dials.

With that said, I wanted to run 245s all the way around. What size 245s should I run with the 8" phone dials? meaning, what size side wall should I run?

245/??/r16

Hey Ian -

I have a set of 4Qty (all rears) early 8" dials I would sell.
They are painted or powder coated a charcoal to match (xboost90) car.
straight and true $675 + shipping

tire size 245/45/16 would be ideal.

hey bridges,

I do not need any thing spectacular or pretty.. just a couple of wheels. this is going to be our track car.

Who ever has the cheapest wheels is what I am looking for.

understood.......

something to think about - buying four 8" will leave you with two extra 8" to have a spare set of tires mounted up and ready. I always keep a spare pair on hand. Sucks ending an event or track day because of a tire issue.

Oddly enough the early offset dials seem to be getting harder to find.
When I was looking...... everybody wanted to sell all 4 only (front and rear) and they wanted $500-600. So to get 4 extra 8" was going to get stupid expensive $1k + and leave me with a bunch of extra 7" I did not want or need.

shop around a while, if you decide you interested send me a PM

what 2bridges said...although you can go up to 50 aspect ratio but it'll be like a doughnut.
