New rims

Recommended Posts

Just to be 100% sure before I make a purchase.I have a 91 Raddo and I am going to put a 16" alloy on with a 205/45/16 tyre.What width alloy would suit better 6.5 7.0 7.5.I think there is 7.5 on them at the moment.The reason I am asking is that I want to be able to fully lock the steering when necessary.Thanks

I would stick with 205/40 R16 tyres all round mate and fit 7.5 x 16" alloys with a offset of ET33-35 to fill the arches properly and still look phat, but you could go 8 x 16" all round for a even wider look e.g. Porsche Design 90's and with 20mm spacers offset would be still ok at ET33ish.

 

Any lower offset or wider and you will have problems with poss. tyres catching (need rolled arches) and clearing the rear axle / struts, unless you fit coilovers or use spacers to bring down the ET.

 

Hope this helps
