Wheel fitments

Post by classicswede »

Would it be possible to get a stickied thread on wheel fitments and details etc as this seems to be a very common question.

I would not recomend going any bigger than 15's either tbh. If you go to 17's you could have problems with tram lining.

low profile tyres (ie very stiff sidewalls) that follow the road surface rather than you telling them where to go .

4x100 pcd wheels are quite common - what offsets do we need ?
