Which tyres and wheels size?
Hello!
I'm looking for Halibrand replica (15", not more), but I don't know how wide they have to be.
I've currently 14" wheels, with 225/60/14 at front, and 245/60/14 at rear, BF Goodrich Radial T/A on it.
I think we should buy the same tyres in 15", like 245/60/15 front, and 295/60/15 rear.. Is this a "common" size for the tyres and wheels?
Do you know a good retailer in Europe?

My ERA has typical 295/50/15 and 245/60/15.
There are a limited number of tires in those sizes.

Team III has AC III wheels in many size back spacing. Factory 5 has the same wheels for less but they only come in Front Wheel Size (Diameter x width): 15"x 8"
Rear Wheel Size (Diameter x width): 15"x 9"
Front Wheel Backspace: 5"
Rear Wheel Backspace: 5.48"
I got lucky and they fit my car perfect 295/50/15---235/60/15

Image Wheels Ltd has got 15" and 17" halibrands.
original size tires 235/60r15 & 295/50r15 hard to find.
i suggest to use 17" wheels.
i've used 225/50r17 & 245/45r17 on my fist three scratch builts.
i'll get "boyd coddington smoothie ii" 17x9.5 & 17x8 wheels, 275/40r17 & 245/45r17 tires for #4.
standart outside diameter of tire on cobra is 26" 660mm
peace and good luck,
Ozgur

Thanks for the answers!
There is no way we put 17" wheels on the car. I prefer pay twice the price for the same tire in 15" than 17", but I really don't like Cobra's with 17" wheels. The only one I love is a grey Cobra with white lanes, and 17" Halibrand. It's for sale on pistonheads, for about 80-90000$.

You might want to check out my post about 15-inch tires for my SPF Cobra.
Typical sizes are 255/60R15 (front) and 275/60R15 or 295/50R15 (rear).

The Avons were available the UK, Spain and Germany the last time I checked. Excellent. Some of the tires you see discussed are really not designed for speed. If you jink down to the Ring take good rubber.

No. I located them by looking for AVON dealers. I would contact AVON
Avon Tyres
We are using the CR6ZZ. Quite happy with them.
It might be best to ring them as the web site has a 50km search parameter. |

Salut Uxcool,
Sur ma Superformance, j'ai des pneus AVON CR 6ZZ en 245/60R15 et 295/50R15 : super grip qui améliore considérablement la tenue de route (gomme très tendre, donc usure assez rapide).
En France, tu peux les commander en ligne chez :
Andrey pneus competition - Spécialiste pneus racing compétition
L'expédition Lyon vers Paris m'a coûté 45€ : livraison en 2 jours . (attention, ces pneus sont chers...1400€ les 4). Ils expédieront certainement de Lyon jusqu'en Belgique, pour un peu plus.
Oops, the official language here is English ?  Sorry ! Herunder the translation  :
On my SPF I've put some AVON CR 6ZZ tires in 245/60R15 et 295/50R15. Super grip which improve greatly the handling (very soft rubber, so will probably worn quickly)
In France you can order it online by Andrey pneus competition - Spécialiste pneus racing compétition
Shipping cost from Lyon to Paris was 45€ for a 2 days delivery. (You have to know that these tires are quite expensive : 1400€ for a set of 4  ).
This company wil certainly ship from Lyon to Belgium, for a little more...
A+
Bob
