Show me Your Holies (R81) and Tires ONLY!!!

....Please do not contaminate this thread with aftermarket wheels....

I searched through numerous threads and I want to collect pictures of Holies (R81). Please list what tire size your are running as well as any suspension modifications.

I am considering running my MCS on holies with either 205-55-15 or 205-60-15. I know about speedometer error, etc. What I want to see is how they look and whether there is any rubbing when lowered.

I'm currently running H-Sport Springs.

Thanks in advance for your photos

BTW: This is not for a snow setup.

stock Conti's ... been thru 4 set of wheels on my MC and the Holies are by far my faves ... super nimble and tossable.

they do take 205's but they have a donut like look with too wide a tire.
195 would be the widest I would go on them.

Did they widen the OEM offering on Holies? I have some takeoffs with 175-65-15s on them. Yours look wider.

no ... those are stock 175 Continentals from a few years ago.

I do agree though that the Pirelli's in the same size look a bit narrower and "stiffer"

That's about an inch shorter than stock diameter. Is this just your auto-X setup or your every day driver setup?

Snow MINI

185/65/15 Yokohama H4s on stock suspension

I would not run a 205 on the Holie rim as it is a 5.5" width rim. Yes it will fit, but it is not the ideal rim/tire combination. The 185 is about as wide as you want to go.

Here are my holies with 185/65/15 Nokian Hakka 2 snow tires. The high performance setup for snow driving.

I have a 19mm H-Sport rear sway bar. Every thing else stock on the suspension.

No worries on posting winter setups. It reminds me of what I don't have to drive in
