Whats the best wheel to be running then?

By that i mean, size, width and offset. Ive been looking at a few wheels to replace the turinis but keep coming accross annoying circumstance, either too thin or not the right offset!

Whats best to run then?

for a williams / valver then i think its...

15" J7 ET36 on a 195/50/15 or 195/45/15 tyre.

each to their own n all!

Need to be running a 45 profile for sure. Been looking at some ET25 on 7J though. Might stick out a little too far though?

Considered some 6J rims, but i decided they were too thin :roll:

why u need 45? 50 is fine and much better feel to it imo

Becasue 45 gives less sidewall flex

yeah true but tbh its too harsher ride, 55 is too spongy, 45 is too hard n sketchy, 50 is just right! 8)

You girl :lol:

Im thinking more clearance in the arches too. But 45 is my preffered profile.

Might go for some winter rims and run a 50 profile but for summer i would like 45s

some people just need a 45 for arch space :P

7x15 ET36 195/45/15 IMO!!!!!! ....50's are soggy :wink:

ET28 and lower is cool as well tho lol (looks only)

clearance aint an issue thats for sure, i have zero rubbage and mines as low as they come, hence the need for a less harsh ride, try living in sheffield for a while, you'll see what i mean! n 50 is more common and therefore cheaper and am a cheapskate! :wink:

each to his own tho of course!
