old rims Question

[F3600]

hi everyone

I'm starting to build my car. I have a set of MOMO wheel in my garage. These wheels was on my old fastback when i bought it. I tried to find somes info on internet but i found nothing. I will post some picture,
here the pic

Im running some Michelin 205/55/R16 on these wheel. I would like to run some larger tire in the back, like 225 .. Is it possible ?

Well i will search for some info on zilvia.. if someone want to share is opinion on how Bad these wheel looks .. :D or some tips !
hehe

thx
Fred

sell them - not nice

[knightrider]

you could run a 225 prolly, it would bulge alot though.

Those wheels are disgusting and it's not because of the look.

Yeah i know its not the better looking wheel .. thx for your tips knightrider .. i think i'm gonna stick with 205 or 215 or wait to find some good mesh style rims with a nice size

I don't think they look ugly at all... but fwiw, a "proper" size would be either 205/55/16 or 215/50/16 (if this is even made)... 225 will definitely fit (225/50/16) but will bulge, and is probably more meat than we really need assuming it's a stockish car in terms of power.

it doesnt really matter what they look like (that is assuming F3600 is going to drive his car in drift, autocross) cause any wheels you get will get fucked up so might aswell use whatever you can.....ugly but meh, if you have some skills then no one will care....oh ya and that should fit

Try the rims w/o the center caps...they might look cooler.

I hate those wheels with a passion. but that is just me. I am sure they would make awesome beater wheels though for the track or winter or something.

As for larger tires, you could put on a 225 but it will bulge out like knightrider said. If it was me I would run 205/50/16 Falken Azenis. For the price those tires kick some serious ass.

[old_s13]

the finish is bad and the size is not so good.. but its acceptable. the center caps really kill the look and for sure, they will need to be painted flat black if you want to even make them look like anything OTHER than some knock-off wheels that you'de typically find on a 86 Maxima.

this is why i said "sell them" because i was eating and couldnt type all of the above.

size wise, 225/50 should fit with minor bulge.. i had then on 7.5's and they were perfect.

sell them for how much though? there's not a big demand for those kind of wheels. i say just keep them for spares/beater rims/paper weight/furniture because you won't get enough money for them for even a good pair of new tires.

:boink: ....soo right. who in the world would buy those wheels unless they were all sold for 50 bucks....just rock em.....i agree get rid of the caps... and power coat it...you can coat it into pretty much any color...might look a lot better. black would be the safe bet .
