Wheel sizes/tyre sizes/offsets...help!

Post by gofasterpinch »

ight i am thinking of getting some dished minilites i am considering

13x6

13x7

i want to keep the speedo correct i am currently using 185/60/13s or 185/55/14s

so what offset wheel do i want? i dont want them to stick out much more than standard and my car isnt low at all, and i dont want scrubbage

and what tyre size?? i dont want some 45 profile or any stretchy ness because thyere no good for the slag, usually end up donw some horrible gravvelly road so stretching cant be aby good (or for going sideways)

any help much appreciated :D

you'll be wanting whatever profile keeps the result of the

. . . . . . . . . . . section x profile = (number)

equation constant.

e.g. if twere 150 x 80, and 160 x 75, if you get me.......
for 13s i think it's something that lands roughly in the 145x75, 155x70, 165x65 zone (whatever the constant made of the average of those three is)

if you're going for 7 inchers i think the required profile might depress you a little, but still not as bad if you went for 14s or 15s..!
