Tire size for 8.5 wide 15 inch wheel?

[PacManVR4]

I bought a set of Southern Ways wheels and the fronts are 7.5 wide and the backs are 8.5 wide. I alreadey have a set of Falken Ziex 512s for the front but Im unsure about tire sizing for the back. The car is a 90 240 coupe with Tein HAs and will have a large drop. Im looking for decent tires under 100.00 a piece. ANy ideas?

do you happen to have pics, also where did you buy these 15's do you know of they have 16's? Thanks

Ebay, There were not cheap either. http://www.jspec.com has 2 15s for sale for 450.00 or so. They didnt list the ones I bought as Southern Ways so I had to figure it out. http://www.wheelchoice.com might be able to find you a set, they had some nice SSRs for sale a while back. Im on the lookout for some SSR MK1s in red.....

Need to lower the car first, decide what ride height you want, then find the tire that will fit. Unfortunately, Falken's widest 15" tire is the 225/50-15 in all model lines.

you can try finding a 245-50-15, I know those exist(I have a set in the back of my shop...sp8000's)

I know there out there, I was checking tire rack and found some. I just dont like the idea of 145 dollar rear tires. It dosent matter if the match. Im just looking for somthing decent for at or below 100.

omg, you don't want cheap tires. It's the only device that transfers torque, braking force, and weight transfer at turn-in, to the ground. Why WHY GOD WHY would anybody go cheap on the only part that comes in contact with the road???

Please save up and get the $145 tires. Truth to tell, $145 isn't that much anyway. You only need 2 tires, correct? Not a bad price at all, IMHO

I wasent saying cheap tires, just modertley priced. I guess since its an odd size I will have to pay for it.
