cut him some slack. As its been stated many times before, hes from mexico and english is not his primary language.

BFG does not make any drag radials in 16s. They do make them in 15s and 17s though. You could always buy some cheap 15s and mount a set of 225/50/15's on there.

if i buy a 15s rims could be a contour normal rims? the brake clearance will right?

 

[mattsBLK99cSVT]

i believe that contour svts with their brakes, require 16in rims and above

Yes they do IIRC.. 15" wheels dont fit over the Brakes.

They will fit. Im running 15" Mystique wheels on my SVT as we speak.

Oh really that is weird the 15 inch SE wheels fit over my SVT brakes on my old 98 and I have seen people running them as winter wheels.

Tourige, get out of this thread.

I agree with beyondloaded get 15s and get 225/50 BFGs.

The drag radial market for FWD cars pretty much sucks. BFG and nitto are about the only companies that make drag radials in FWD sizes, and even then they're still a limited number of sizes (we could run a 235 or 245 with the right sidewall ratio) and the nittos suck.

Hoosier Tire came out with a 225-50-16 FWD drag radial tire within the past year. You DO have a choice to not just go with 15" or 17" BFGs.

Same here - 15" OEM WHEELS FIT OVER THE SVT BRAKES!

 

[posthuman63t]

I think Tourige is thinking of the aftermarket brakes for our cars. The aftermarket 4-piston calipers require at least a 16 (or maybe it was 17) wheel.
