What alloys to get?

[legendryan]

Hey, i'm new to the forum.

I have had a K11 1.0L Red Micra for just over a year now and am wanting to put some alloys on it. I'm pretty new at car stuff so am still learning, but have help round the corner if I get in to much trouble.

I know lots of people like sticking with the 13'' as they like to lower the car but what are the thoughts about 15''? I was checking up on eBay and came along some 195/45 and 195/50? Would these even fit without any extra bits and would they look stupidly fat?

Thanks people!

you are better off going with 195/45 tyres as these don't rub under normal load. If you are going to buy alloys you should look for alloys with a 4 x 100 stud patter with a ET of 32-35 for the best fit however other ET's will work as well.

I meant if he felt lazy. And you can cut a coil off if you want as long as you can get it equal all round. Everything we do is easy. So I know well get problems.

Ok well how many?! can't go too low with the bouncy springs or ill ruin a sump. and it's not fun changing my sump... Remember! lol

cut it in half (Y) the springs get stiffer as they get shorter.
