I guess this is a site idea. Why not make sticky's about what tyre size fits on the different cars?

It comes up a few times each week, it would be easier if each section had a sticky on the max size each car can have.

For example-

Fiat cinquecento sporting-
-recommended max size : 14 inch alloys,
-possiblilities- 15 inch alloys, with arch work. Acceleration will be slow.

Maybe even add why they don't go on? eg- 15's won't go on, as they are usually too wide

etc

Hope this is a good suggestion,

Joe :)

(how about some rep ;) :p )
 
cool, glad you like it.

I am not sure on the format or anything, but it doesn't need to be anything special.

I got exams atm, but if people pm the info then i will do it thursday. It shouldn't take long.

Or if anyone else wants to give it a go, please do :)
 
ok, some info then:

Cinq sporting. Standard alloys are 5.5j13, offset 30.5mm
Standard tyre size 165/55r13
Optimum tyre size for standard wheels: 175/50r13

On 15"s - 6.5x15 with 195/45r15 tyres, offset 34mm, front spacer removed and fitted to rears: catch outer rear arches under load. Worse with Abarth sideskirts. Fronts catch inner arches on full lock.

great stuff there mate, would be perfect.

Didnt even consider standard sizes.

Using that, how about this-

Model- .......
Standard tyre size-.......
Optimum Tyre Size-........

Max Alloy wheel size Recommendation-.........

Possibilities (with some work).......including problems without extra work...


if other fiat owners could fill it out in this type of format, then it would be easier to put it up in a sticky.

Anything else we can add, whilst talking about tyres. useful websites etc?

nice one pete,

Joe
 
Any owners of others cars want to fit out one of them forms.

Optimum Tyre Size-

nice one aaron, they should be on any wheel sticky...

so far it only looks like we have wheel data for the cinq sporting :eek:

If any one wants to fill out one of them forms and send it to the respective mod, it would probably be easier.....
