Alloy Wheels under standard arches

[artuan00]

I've sourced some alloys pretty cheap but I'm just wondering whether the tyre profiles are too high?

195/60/r15

Will these fit under arches on a purely standard K11? (Not lowered etc)

Thanks for your help

(I did search, couldn't find anything specific)

you,ll never get past 3rd gear with them on a 1.0 k11

Seriously?

Oh :/

Oh :/

aye lol stock are 155/70/13, 5J et 45 http://www.willtheyfit.com/

So I'm looking at 195/45/15 for the same physical size as standard wheel+tyres

does 15x7 ET25 sound right? the listing looked very "sketchy" to say the least

sounds ok, you may have some tyrepoke on the front tho ?

 

[artuan00]

tyrepoke meaning tyres stick out the arches? or tyres touch the arches?

yes, sticking out, and touching if lowered more than 40mm i guess, you,re best to measure your current clearance and do some calculations tbh

Will do, thanks for your help frank

will +rep if i can find such a feature

There is a thanks button under every post,

And if there is too much poke try getting thinner tyres for some strecthed fun!

165/45 15 FTW (and relief of clearance issues)

Will this stretch profile fit on to any alloy or only certain types? Apart from looks are there any other benefits? And how is handling? I'd assume alot of understeer?

Well I got the wheels anyways as they was going so cheap I could easily sell them on for a little bit of profits.

Needless to say, they are FAR bigger than they looked in the pictures

The guy was also unsure of the PCD, he some something like 110.. Which I thought only came in 5 stud variation 5x110 apart from a scarce daewoo or something.

Anyways I'll measure that tomorrow.

Another question...
The tyres are also fairly new, is it likely that I can walk in a garage and basically Part-Ex these tyres for some lower profiles?

 

[essexpunx]

I doubt you'd be able to part ex the tyres (maybe at some dodgy partworn place) get your new tyres fitted then sell the old ones on ebay, i did this with my old scooby wrx, got a ton for the old tyres, only changed them because they were rubbish lol.

i may have the tyres off you depending on price

 

[artuan00]

PM me karlj

Trial fitted the wheels today, they "almost" fitted lol. Will deffinately be going for the 45's.

Pics soon!
