WTB: 13" or 14" Aftermarket Wheels

[gilly]

Hi, I am after some aftermarket wheels to suit my 1988 Alto Works RSX.
I assume 13" is the biggest I can go without causing issues with scrubbing?
14" would be better if they fit, but I doubt they would.

Ideally with tyres too.

I am pretyt much open to anything, but generally I prefer the 'racer' style of wheel.
I like the watanabe style too - those gunmetal grey ones - Ive seen them on a small suzuki before and they looked awesome.

Thanks,
PM or email me (simongill75@hotmail.com).

You can put 15" on it without scrubbing if you want. Just need the right offset/tyres. Check out Johnny's Cervo:

Abatis 15x5.5 rims - could easily be powdercoated any colour you like.

What is your budget?

[gilly]

budget is anywhere between $400-$800.
15" hey - that would be pretty good because then a much bigger range is available. I think 14" might be the way to go though.

Is the stud pattern, offset, and clearance identicle for an alto works to a mightyboy?

Those Abatis rims are a bit ugly I reckon.

[Brayden]

Yep, anything we've done to ours will work for you.

what size wheels and tyres are they?
So basically that means the alto has a bit more space? Perhaps the springs are slightly different.

Well Johnny has the exact same wheels on his Cervo as Jay has on his MB - both with no issues, and I've put the wheels off my MB on my missus' Alto with no problems.

Yeah, i have Abatis Zero 15x5 with 165/45 R15's on them, no scrubbing issues (stock height suspension, stock getting soft shocks too), but they cost me close to $1000 with the rubber on them, inc shipping for the rims to get to me.

They are not for everyone, and to be honest i wasn't so sure about them when i bought them, had not seen them on a mighty boy, only on Johnny's Cervo, but i bought them anyway. Once on the ute, i love them. Normally i'm more of a 5spoke rim guy, but i reckon the 6 spoke look is good on a jap car.

Wow my 14's look bigger than your 15's with the 165/60/R14.

Im looking at getting some 14 x 6.0 with 165/60r14 tyres on them.
Hopefully they will fit ok.

14x6, mine come very close to scrubbing on the back, had to roll arches, that extra inch might touch. mine are 14x5. The fronts would defs scrub, mine do a tiney bit.

Use Ike's size calculator to work it out.

Your running a 60 profile 165 & I'm running a 45 profile 165 tyre, so yours would look bigger. Off the top of my head i can't remember which one has a greater rolling size, but Ike's calculator will tell you.

My rolling diameter is 54mm bigger than stock from memory.
