young un Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 HI guys, im bored so thought id look for some wheels to put on my anglia - when i get one. my dad said 5.5j x 13 and 165/70/13 tyres. what do you think and perhaps you could post up some links! cheers
escort21 Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 6" revos or superlites look cool an angryboxes ...or lotus steelies ...get it really low and what about 175/50 tyres... ...it would look like this then......
young un Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 Yeah it will hopefully go down on 2" blocks, but i dont want lotus steels as i want a wheel that you can see through. i was thinking minilites or maybe escort rs four spokes. cheers
Arched Escy Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Yeah it will hopefully go down on 2" blocks, but i dont want lotus steels as i want a wheel that you can see through. i was thinking minilites or maybe escort rs four spokes.cheers Don't go Minilites because every man and his dog has them now!Go for some colour coded Revos!
Guest M.Bird DOHC Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Revo's aint period enough m8 its more of a 70's wheel IMO! Look a bit wrong on a anglia! You tell me what you think looks best!
Mk 1 Mark Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 My Cortina has 185/60/13 on 5.5 x 13 minilights and it handles really well and looks good to, 175.50.13 tyres just dont look right to me in my opinion Look like elastic bands on the wheels
young un Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 175.50.13 tyres just dont look right to me in my opinion Look like elastic bands on the wheels Which is why i said 165/70
Guest M.Bird DOHC Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 185 55;s are a good compromise between looks and handling! 165 are a tad skinny m8
young un Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 Thats just wat my dad said but can someone explain what each number means?
Guest M.Bird DOHC Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 the big 1st number is the width of tyre and the second 2 digit number is the profile which i think is the percentage of the width, the final number is size of rim! Sure il be corrected if im wrong!
MK II Mark Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Revo's aint period enough m8 its more of a 70's wheel IMO! Look a bit wrong on a anglia! You tell me what you think looks best! Bird you speak the truth
young un Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 SO would a 165 fit on a 5.5" wide rim?
Guest M.Bird DOHC Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 yes m8 but why not fit a wider tyre?
young un Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 because you cant go wider than the rim
young un Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 Right start again: What is the biggest width rim you can get on an standard anglia? What is the best looking diameter of a wheel for an anglia? What tyre would you use to keep the normal overall width of a standard anglia? hope that made sence.
Guest M.Bird DOHC Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 ive had 185's on 5.5j's! thats whats on the revo's on my anglia in the pic above!!
Doc Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Cant beat a nice restored rostyle ...... Itll be the next big thing
young un Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 But you have just said that both a 185 and a 165 width tire both can fit on a 5.5" wide rim. how can they?
Guest M.Bird DOHC Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Right start again:1.What is the biggest width rim you can get on an standard anglia? 2.What is the best looking diameter of a wheel for an anglia? 3.What tyre would you use to keep the normal overall width of a standard anglia? hope that made sence. Depends what wheel you want m8 its al about the offset/inset of the wheel to be honest, the offset is how much width of the wheel sticks out futher than the hub! inset is how much sticks in! Hope you understand! You decide what wheel you want m8 and go from there!
young un Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 Right im thinking minilite as they look . my dad said i can have 5.5" wide rims with standard arches. i want to keep the overall diameter as standard as not to through out the spedo. the car will be lowered 2". what size diameter wheel should i put on and what size tyre? and as for ofset inset they must fit under the standard anglia arches!
Guest M.Bird DOHC Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 13"wheel on a 175,60r13?!!!?? speedo may be slightly out as i cant remember what size tyre they have as standard! Its all about working out the circumference of the tyre so its the same as what was fitted as standard as to not affect the speedo, a wheel and tyre supplier should be able to reccommend this too you, get in touch with Midland wheels or similar As for offset just tell the supplier what they are going on!
Lotus-Eater Posted March 18, 2007 Report Posted March 18, 2007 Offset or the et of a wheel is the measurement in mm. of the distance between the mounting (hubface) and the centreline of the wheel. This is expressed as a + or - depending on whether the centreline of the wheel is inboard or outboard of the mounting hubface. Radial tyre numbers translate as: example 185/60x13 = tyre is 185mm wide,the height of the sidewall (profile) is 60% of the width and it fits a 13 inch wheel
young un Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Posted March 18, 2007 So when i'm ready to get some its worth giving mws a ring just to clear everything up.
