When you say rolled guards, how do you mean?

they were rolled when i bought it.
where the guard has an edge on the inside, it was folded back up. if you don't do this it may scrape, but i wouldn't know as it was already like that.

If you're a bling king then 20's will fit with the right offset.
If your like me then 15x8 would do the job. 15x10 would be a dream come true. |

as long as it dosen't have 12 slots or snowflakes under it.
im sick of those wheels, they're totally s**t looking! and i do have fat rubber on the 18's (245x40x18), and i used to have 17's with 255x40x17in tyres. the 255's stick like s**t to a blanket, as opposed to the crappy 15's i had laying around.

I work at Beaurepaires, and i can tell you the best reason to go for nothing less than a 15in rim is simply the availability of quality tyres. I've got a Val with 14in rims, and my old mans Muzza has 14's aswell. Basically only tyres available are a Sumitomo or a BFGoodrich, i have one he has the other and they're both s**t house. First plans for the Val are some 16in rims so i can get some good rubber for it.
Back on topic, try to match the rolling diameter of your original tyres. E.g 205/65/15 works out to be very closely matched to a 235/45/17, about 3-4 mm difference in diameter. Any tyre retailer will have a book with that infomation. I've got an XG with 235/45/17's, it's 50mm lowered all round and i've got no problems with rubbing at all, and i've fitted 235/35/18s on a XF with no problems either. Any wider/taller on the front and you could start causing yourself some headaches. Not to mention good tyres will start to cost big $$$. Nankang are not good tyres! |
