rim

hey all, the time has come for some new rubber but before i order i am just wondering if i could put a wider tyre on the standard cupra wheels, i currently have 195/45/16, would a 205 be ok? cheers

I have been offered a set of secondhand alloys and wanted to confirm fitment onto my Leon Sport 20vT Car is standard height and no modifications The wheels are 18" with 7.5" wide rim Tyres fitted are 225/40/18 Was a bit concerned as most people specify 33-38 offset and wanted to make...

I e-mailed SEAT to ask if they could provide me with a part number for a steel rim that would fit my Altea ( also gave the VIN) The reply back was basicly NO! your car came with alloys so buy an alloy! So can anyone provide me with the part number for a steel rim? The rim details are 6.5J*16...

Was looking to (whilst Fiancée was away) give my wheels a good clean and also apply a sealant. Was going to use Poorboys but couldn't find it in the shops (a detailing company 'Polished Bliss' near Aberdeen has it but is closed at weekends). Ended up buying Rim Wax for £17.50 at...

Hi All, Just thought I would post up some pictures up of my ride, It's a work in progress. Feel free to ask any questions. Hope you like.

as title really.. whats the widest you can go say in a 16, ET pretty much standard 38 ish without having to mess with arches etc? what are most running? :shrug: Discuss (please)

Please help me to make a choise, cause I don't know it anymore.. I haven't got a great budget so I don't get many optiones. I'm limited at about 850 to 900 pound's, and in the Netherlands you can't get much fot that. This is my options so far.. suggestions are welcome as well. The...

Hi Since having a couple of new tyres fitted, one appears to have a very slow leak round the rim (6 year old alloy ... but visually not in too bad nick). The folks that fitted the tyre have re-seated it twice now and it still looses a few pounds pressure over a couple of weeks. They now say...

Hi all, right just ordered some new rims for track fun an now need to sort some tyres for them, i am looking at all the normal list 1B suspects like AO48r, R888, V70A, DZ01J etc but what i am more interested in is what compound are people running or what can you recommend or indeed not recommend...

I currently have 205/45/16 but would like to have a less wide tire. I don't like how the wide tire makes the car feel unstable on bad Belgian highways. Breaking in wet will probably also improve with narrower tires. There is also a small price difference per tire in favor of the narrow ones...

I know this has been done to death n no-one seems able to recommend any in Surrey/south london in the searches i've done however is it feasible to have them done in a day or is it likely to be a pants job! There's somewhere in Nth London offering this,must be on premises as seems most place send...

hi :) i wanted to know if i can fit a 215 tyre on the stock 16" rims thanks :)

After mullering my wheel I'm thinking about getting some tyres with rim protectors and I just wondered how well they do actually protect the wheel? Has anyone got any pics of an 18 with one of these tyres one? Thanks :)

Is this wise? I use my car daily, probably about 15k a year unfortunately :(. Am currently looking at new tyres, was planning on keeping the 205/40's on the back and swapping the fronts from 195/45 to 195/40. But I have just seen a set of 175/50's up for sale and thought it may be worth changing...

Hi all its time now to properly think of the old euro spec split rim wheels for my project, im such a fickle person i cant choose so heres where i turn to you lot please give me your opinions on the following wheels and maybe throw down some of your own choices into the mix, looking for 17"...

I read some of you use 7.5J on the front and 9J on the back - would 9J all round be ok? What sort of problems would there be if I ran 9J all over? Some problems with front alignment - is this easy for a self fix? Any info appreciated! :) edit:They're on Toyo Proxes T1-S tyres with a profile...

Hi, just a quick question, as the title: Do Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres have a rim protector? I feel it is time to change my :p P-Zeros. Cheers

Was out cleaning my car this morning and spotted to my horror that my front near side wheel was sodding bent: I think I know when it happened, went down a huge pothole on a very narow road thanks to an equally huge lorry. Didn't think anything of it at the time aside from the large bang -...

I just wonder if someone could possibly give me advice? My dark blue ( indigo) Toledo TDiSE which I bought new at the end of 1999 from SMC Exeter has and still is a fantastic car. Always reliable and not even a rattle out of it after 123,000 miles. I know it could actually do three times...
