Nova GSi 3 Spoke - Tyre Size

[vaughanmc]

I finally managed to get another 5J Nova GSi alloy :)

Going to paint up my set of 5J alloys in a nice fresh Vauxhall Star Silver with plenty of laquer

I know the original size of tyre on a Nova GSi is 175/65/14 and thats what I have on the car just now

They seem to look a wee bit bloated and wondered if thats because I have 4.5J wheels on the front and not 5's ?

What would you lot recommend for these wheels ?

14" 5J

Cheers, Vaughan :thumb:

165 55 14. :)

[vaughanmc]

165's on a set of 5J wheels ?

[Jay]

I would.

[vaughanmc]

I'll try my 2 5J wheels on the front with the 175/65/14's and see what the score is then

Cheers Jay :thumb:

mind im running 165/65/14 on sr steelies look ok

The lowest profile i could find in a rough size to what i wanted was 55, that is half of the problem, thin tyres suck too!

I'll see how it looks on the 175/65/14's with x4 5J alloys

If it still looks gay I'll try some 185/55/14's on them

I have 2 5J alloys with 185/60/14's and they look too chunky as well

Trial and error with this one I suppose

Moffat - I'm no wanting to run really thin tyres though mate but if I need to I will, maybe with some spacers lol

I would/have used 185x60x14 on my SR alloys.

well a suppose thinner tyres dont look that good but hey will do the job
