On the 88s with Chromadora's; were they staggered sizes as the stock GT wheels were? Found my answer; all were 15x7s
What were the stock tire sizes on the MERA? Found my answer: 245-50-15 F, 265-50-15 R Yes??????[This message has been edited by swing69 (edited 12-23-2020).]

Yes, those are the correct Mera tire sizes.

I concur wrt the correct OEM tire size. Let me know if you find any 245 x 50 x 15 tires for the front since I have been looking for quite a while. You can run the 265 x 50 x 15 tires on the front but may rub the inner fender when sharply turning at low speeds.

Just make certain that it is an actual Mera before finalizing the sale. I have seen a lot of vehicles advertised as Meras that were kit cars of some type.

Being that 245-50-15 are basically unobtainable..... what is the preferred available sizing with a matched rear for the 88 MERAs
I looked back, and can't find any recommendations as to tire sizing on the stock MERA rims.
Point 2: may be easier just to buy upgraded rims and tires?? what's available out there in 16s or 17?
TIres? RIMS? please no $400 each rims.....I can't afford that!
Thanks![This message has been edited by swing69 (edited 12-24-2020).]

As previously stated you can run the 265 x 50 x 15 tires on all four corners o a Mera and I currently am doing that on two 88 Meras. However, these cars use the optional Chromadora rims and I cannot be certain how it would work on the stock lace type rims. The Chromadora rims are very difficult to locate and quite expensive when you do find them ($300 to $400 or more per rim [no tires]). The last set I saw on eBay was a few years back and the set price was $2000.
Your best bet might be to try some 60 series tires on a 15" or 16" rim to see what happens.

Had someone contact me regarding the sale of 5 Fittapaldi rims - the style/size used on the last batch of MERAs from what he said. Anyone have an idea of a fair price for them?
Thanks!

as to the tire thing.... my car came with Center Line Alum one piece wheels with a lug nut cover. 15" front 16" back
i love the Hot Rod stance it already has then the 16/15 rims are another optical that makes is look mean.
soo happy with this years performance and even did 5 jobs my self..... New Champion 3 Core Radiator, Tranny Filter, Alternator, spark plug wire repair and the one belt kept falling off on start. ended up having to shave a bit off the Alt. for a square alignment.... totally engineered it my self now i want a cam and innercooler and with that comes bigger Injectors. i a going to race Lambos and Ferraris next year. i have made a few friends since i have been gone
