Hairyarse 10 Posted November 28, 2014 Morning all! For those of you that recall my C, you may remember that I couldn't decide if to keep the white wheels or paint/lose them. Just not sure on the white on white thing sometimes! I've just bagged a set of BBS RX2's - 7x15 - for a good price and this would mean the tyres on my white 7x15 wheels would swap straight over. However, the wheels turned up the other day and are in fact 6x15 :( So my question is, has anyone ran both 6 and 7 inch rims and noticed any real difference? I love the way my C rides and handles so don't want to mess with that too much. The tyres on the 6s are shot so I can't test them - and think the 205s on my 7s may look like balloons on the 6s. I just don't want to spend out on four new tyres and regret it!! Hope that makes sense? All opinions welcome as always. Cheers Andy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
g0ldf1ng3r 15 Posted November 28, 2014 Ive recently put a set of RX2's on my valver 4 stud but they are 6.5*16 IIRC unfortunately ive not driven it on them yet as it is having a couple of issues sorted & hopefully a fresh MOT this week i cant recall the ET but i am wondering if a small spacer would be an advantage BUT im really not a fan of spacers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ross k 10 Posted November 28, 2014 Doubt you will notice much difference in terms of handling other than loss of grip due to thinner tyres. I would be more worried about how they will sit i would imagine they wont fill the arches out well at all. Assuming its a 16v i always found you need at least a 7.5j to fill the arch but an 8j with an et around 15 gave perfect fitment hope that helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairyarse 10 Posted November 28, 2014 Thanks for the comments. I'll have to check, I'm pretty sure they were 6 not 6.5. ET45. I'm not a fan of spacers either. I can at least chuck one on the car and see how it looks I guess ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
