wheels, 7x13 et6

[hoopdub]

so im watching a few sets of wheels for my k11, one set is 7x13 all round et6, did a search and the only one i can see on here is martinb's black super s, as much as i like it the poke seems a lot more on the nearside than the offside from the pics in his thread, and im worried about to much poke. anyone else running these stats??

also looking at a stagered set 6x14 and 8x14 et15 & 20, hmmmmm

155 tyres on the rear should be ok hoopdub, but you would need a lot of camber on the front imo

Ye Frank, thats what im thinking, dont realy want to be running camber, especially with winter on the way also watching a set of 15s, et38 prob run 165/50s or 45s on them for tuckage

I was running 13x7 -7 with 165/55, rear was ok with bit of DIY arch roll, Front needed quite a bit of negative camber.

My old car with the setup above

13x7 et6 is pretty much perfect. 165/65 tyres for some stretch and they'll fit fine.

These are 13x7 et5

what wheels are you looking at?:wasntme:

 

[mckenziecz]

also I can roll your arches with the proper tool if you come around

mckenziecz, i actually have a pic of your car with them wheels on in a screen saver i made up, along with euro_micras, martinbs, and franks side on pic on his steels, along with others ive found searching on here hehe. ive watched quite a few sets of minilite type wheels with the -7 offset, but let them go. the set im currently wanting are alleycat rally specials also talking to some people about ats clasics, 7x13 but a much friendlier ET of +20, and a set of smoor roadsters hmmm much to consider i have an arch roller, didnt know if the steel was up to a bit of stretching as it seems very thin compared to what im used to (vw)

 

[hoopdub]

oooh, just spotted some ultralites 7x13 ET 10, that 4mm makes all the difference hehe

Et 6 is very good, but as McZ has proved -7 can be coped with. The ally cats sound cool.

Any oppertunity to whore some old pics of mine :suspect:

7x13 Et6

I'm still contemplating on a set of 13x7 with 175/60 or 175/50 depending on where we want the gearing to be. My only issue is we will be on the track, so putting large loads through the car and arch clearances will need to be spot on. I was thinking perhaps 13x7 ET15 to be safe with a 175/60 profile semi-slick.....

 

[hoopdub]

the classics im considering have 175/50/13 tyres, zero stretch, and look a bit poo for me hmmm, and very expensive considering i will have to get the CB made bigger.

Love that pic Mark, any more with them wheels on??

 

[hoopdub]

never mind did a search, and have now ordered the alleycats
