Best wheel and tire size

[Huskyfan42]

Hi, does any one know the best wheel size and width and the best tire size and width for the Lancia (Monte Carlo) Scorpion. For fast street use.
Thank You Tom

I run 7Jx15 with 195/50 front and rear which doesn't effort any changes to the car body. Little lowering should be necessery for better looks.
7J15 with 205/50 front and 225/50 is possible too and looks even better, but then the wheel arches have to be adapted to get enough space for the tires.

Does anyone know what rimsize this is?

And how that car got so low?

That's Mike Ross' car in Sacramento, CA. I think those are 15" rims. He's a member of this forum so you should be able to contact him through through the Memberlist.

Thanks Ken,

I am thinking of putting other rims on my Monte but deciding what type is a painfull :wink: and long process.

These Speedline imis look nice, are 15x7 with ET of 21 so should do the job.

Changing from 185/65/14 to 195/55/15 hopefully doesn't spoil the ride and handling which i like so much from my Monte.

Cheers, Pieter

Tom,

I'm runing some fairly uncommon (for a Scorpion) tire and wheel sizes on my beast. I've just upload some shots into a new album (Thanks DJ!).

http://www.lancisti.net/forum/modules.php?set_albumName=Goldie&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php

The fronts are 205/40x17's and the rears are 245/35x17's.
Tires are now a set of the new Goodyear F1's and the rim size is 17" dia. and 7 1/2" wide. I am using wheel adapters for bolt pattern differences and for adaptation to the 12" Brembos I have mounted up front. The 17" was the only wheel to clear the big brakes.

The car is lowered now just a bit more than the photo in the album. I'm runing springs from the Monte Hospital. I have absolutely no clearance problems with this set up. The wheel adapters also act as spacers to give the offsets I need to avoid clearance issues.
