I am looking for opinions on going to 15x7 or 16x7 wheels this summer.... Do not want to rub out my wheel wells, can I go to 16x7's without doing that???
And can I also drop the car 1.5-2"?? AND do the 16x7 wheels? or no?? Any insights I would LOVE to hear... THANX!!
Please Let me know... (if u know for sure)

what kind of car.......

 

Is that a Fiero?? 16x7 will be fine, get 205/40/16 tires, you shouldnt have a problem.

 

.....shouldnt at all....

 

this is a 97' del sol SI....

Now I'll take opinions... no pont. fieros here.....

 

you can do 16x7 with out rubbing, it all depends on the offset of the wheel your using

 

7 wide should be cool, around a 40 offset will work. Im on 17x7s with 40 offset, 205/40 tires. I only rub in the rear, rolling my fenders cured that though.

 

with that drop, u shouldnt have much a problem with either..though the price of tires will be more expensive for 16 s...ive had both..and the ride is about the same..on 205/50/15 s and 205/45/16 s...its in my opinion that rotas are ur best bet for fit without having to use hub rings...the rotas were specifically made to fit the honda market not the usual universal fit

 

who sells rota wheels?? send a URL if possible, didn't see anything off of their website.... Thanx...

I am looking at TSW or possibly Kosei's or even BBS wheels... in the $100-175/wheel range... thanx..

 

If you are on a budget get the Kosei K-1's but if you want to venture out in the real world get Desmond Evo's 8lb.'s!

 

all wheels are $400-450 range for set in 15-16" at MachIII (and only weight at 12-15lbs each)





do yourself a favour and go with 15", which is lightweight, otherwise you will regret it, of course unless you don't care and looks are above performance

call MachIII, talk to Walee, tell him about the board, he will maybe give you a discount

I say go oem if your using a 15. honda has some nice wheels IMO

 

the US rota distributor is located in hayward, calif. so most shops out here can get them..check out http://www.modacar.com ..thats where i got mine and its my favorite speed shop..they ship nationwide..i got the rota 16in C8 s..looks like the RH CP8s but with a different center cap...if u have a hatch and want the 16 s..get 40 series tires..for the coupe i went with the 45 series tires..hope this helps

 

hmmm?? the C8s, slips and subs...nice lite weights in any size..silver goes with every thing and the fad never changes

 

can someone move all these wheel threads out of this forum... everyday someone has to post something about some stupid wheels!
