Would 14" 12 Slotters fit on an EA?
Standard is 15" so the 1" difference is legal, but will they clear the brakes? Is the offset suitable? I always liked the look of 12 slotters, but dont see 15" ones around often. They seem to be a cheap way to get wide wheels. As for gearing, looking to install 4.0:1 gears soon so no fussed about that, the lower the better. Any thoughts? |

The reason they are cheap is because there is f**k all wide tyres around in a 14" nowdays to fit to them.
The ones that are available will cost you Australias National debt.

Thanks for the heads up.. probably saved me a packet. Whats your advice for wide rims in a 15"? Not looking to stand out. Hell if they made wide snowflakes, Id use them. Perhaps XR6 rims? I just hate 50 series rubber and below. Is terrible for traction |

I want launches, not wheel spin. Id prefer to have the rolling parts made up with stuff that grips, not rim. If you want a car to do corners, low profile (to a point) is better as the bag you get from the sidewall doesnt roll outwards. I just want to smoke cars off from the line, and I never to distance trips. So my diff of choice is 4.x:1 and if I can lower the ratio a little more with rubber, id prefer to do that. Ultimately, personal choice. For years the old Toranas were doing great times on 265 13" rims. You wont see a top fuel running on low profile. |

Snowflakes with 235/60R15 rubber on them work quite well for traction....gets you around 26.1" total tyre diameter.
