later 760 wheel/tire combination for 240 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be chris herbst on  Sun Nov 4 07:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Someone gave me a set of nearly perfect dished 760 wheels. I'm going to hang the set on my 91 240, since it needs more help than the rest of the 240s in the wheel department (currently with 25 spoke alloy).

The wheels have no tires on them, so I have no idea what I should mount. When I look up the tire sizes, I've found the stock 760 came with 185/65 15 tires. Is that on these alloys or on the 15" steel?

Should I step up to 195s? I would probably have to chop it to a 60 series tire for that.

I order through wholesale channels, so I have to know the tire size when I order.

By the way, I want to mount all-season or all season touring because we get winter here. I'll keep the 14" stuff mounted with cheaper M+S tires just in case we get a really bad snow dump. I change sets in about 15min so it makes little difference.
