eppsy9 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 can u fit offsets on to any wheel or do you have to buy special alloys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 "Offset" is the measurement of the wheel from the centreline to the mounting face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamz Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) I have 5J x 13 inch standard steels, i want some low profiles with a moderate amount of stretch, what tyres do i need?Cheers Edited May 20, 2010 by williamz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Stretch on a 5j?Hmmm, do wheelbarrows run 13's?...No chance of stretch. Low profile wise, could go for 165/55 or 175/50. Oh, and if you're running 13" steels, your car isn't a Sport, as they wouldn't fit over the front brakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and if you're running 13" steels, your car isn't a Sport, as they wouldn't fit over the front brakes.oh right so definately looking like the only option is alloys, just need new tyres as almost illegal and dont have money for anything too expensive just yet.so 165 is the lowest width you say yea?and no its not a sport its a an E.

Gibbeth! Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 and no its not a sport its a an E.Its probably not 100bhp then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williamz Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 Its probably not 100bhp then!Well its the 1.4 16v and was told its the 100bhp.. dunno havnt had it checked, just going on what ive been told. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted May 21, 2010 Report Share Posted May 21, 2010 (edited) You can also get 155's, but they seem to have big sidewalls.145/60/13 is the smallest I can find, they have a very slightly smaller rolling radius than 165/55's, but they're expensive. Not sure if the load rating would be too low as well.All 1.4 Lupos are 16v. E's, S's and SE's are 75bhp. Sports are 100bhp.
