Which weels (tires + rims)?

Post by Stalthy »

Hi fellas. First time i'm over here. So im thinking of getting new wheels and shoes. I found a pair of alleycats for sale, which looks quite nice. However im afraid they are the wrong size. Does anyone know wether a 185/70x13 would fit a stock car? I have read that 175/70 fits, does the 10 last mm screw it all up? Do you have other suggetion for wheels? Which size is the ideal one for best mpg? I was thinking of getting a pair of bbs as well.

The 185 is the width. You can go up to a 195 with no issues

What you need to worry about more is the centre bore -57.1. The offset - ideally needs to be ET30-ET45 and the pcd needs to be 4x100

Thanks for the reply! I know that they are 4x100 for sure and that they also fit opel/golf/passat for sure. Going to ask about ET and bore.
