[QUOTE="markbognor, post: 524639, member: 5112"] Thanks karl. 7"s all round one pair were re-drilled 4x108 one "pair" were 4x4". I Wish it still looked like that. But I prefer being married to having wide wheels. Mr Pawel, you'll be needing wheels 7" wide and around et10 or a bit less offset. Google offset and do some reading if you dont already "get it". The best way I found to understand it was to actually draw some wheels on paper, you only need to draw the top (or bottom half) in cross section. 13 or 14" diameter would do the job. Those tyres are 165/55 R13 around 7x13 Et10 wheels* (no idea what speed and load rating they are) they are Accelera Gamma's - chosen over the similarly priced Nangkangs because they didn't have a rim protector moulded into the side wall. I've no idea what an equivalent radius 14" tyre would be but [URL='http://www.willtheyfit.com']www.willtheyfit.com[/URL] will help you sus that out, and help you compare how various wheel and tyre combinations could look. For reference the stock steels are 5x13 with 155/70 tyres . - someone else will have to fill you in on the 14" wheel specs. *this is meaningless on the rear, on wheel was lower et and the panhard rod was uncorrected.
