6.5 or 7 wide wheels?

[SRlew]

right then iv been thinking about changing my wheels next month for some teamdynamics pro-race 1's (after the re-sprayof course, just to top it off :D )

but when looking through the catalouge in halfords i noticed that the ones i wanted (pro-race 1's) are 7 x 15,
at the minute iv got 6.5 x 15 and there close on the inside and out side arch on the back.

will the 7's fit alright or not?
or should i just stick with 6.5 x 15 and go for monza's?

p.s they'll be black what ever i chose.

yes mate they should be fine as long as the offset is right. team dynamics told me et48 is best and thats what mine are and i have no problems on a 60mm drop. they're 16s too.

They wont fit in black whichever size u go for!!!

Have to be silver im afraid!!

cheers probert. i think you can get team dynamics in et45.

[probert_nova]

iirc you carn't get the multispoke ones in 16 inch, only 15 and 17. et45 might be just a little to far out. team dynamics will make the wheels to whatever offset you like. it just means you have to wait a few weeks for them. like i said et48 is the best they say. thats what i have and the gap between arch and wheel is about less than a cm.et45 would mean serious scrubage i think.

et45 might be just a little to far out. et45 would mean serious scrubage i think.

I had some 16" 7j wide 100+ Tornados and they were et45. I had to have the arch lip folded/ground away, but they did fit.

Make sure you get the correct size tyre too. You'll want 195/45/16 or 195/45/15 for 15" wheels. I think the 17" wheel tyre size is 205/45/17, but I may be mistaken.

My old 16" 7J Masitalys were ET45, they wouldn't go on with standard arches.
They would have fitted no doubt with folded/rolled arches tho.
You want 205/40 IIRC for 7J 16s, and 17s.
195/45 for 15s.
