Hi all, not wanting to bore everyone as i have talked about wheels in the other topics but was just wanting a few opinions on wheel options if anyone wants to join in. I have rostyles on at the moment, do keep them? go for minilites, D1,s,or moderns,  |

For me - the main thing is that the width of the tyre gets it close to the wheel arch. I don't like the look when the tyre is a couple of inches inside the wheel arch, cars running 155s on always look to me like they will fall over on the first corner

| Yeh,i know what you mean, on rostyles a 185/65x13 tyre is about as wide you can go and keep similar rolling radius,its an improvement over the 155/13 though |

| Rostyles did have 165/13 as standard & when tyre choice wasn't as great I used to use 185/70's on mine & found this gave pretty much same rolling area/profile as std and thus speedo wasn't effected. |

| I have 13x8 minilites fitted to mine but have had to get the arches rolled due to my slightly wider track, i imagine they should fit the standard car ok |

Use 7/16 UNF nuts ford capri ones fit fine and there cheap you can also use the relevent longer wheel studs 7/16 43mm-55mm long depending on what alloys you use.
never mind id already asked...please feel free to ridicule and add extra tips thanks moditup btw
