Then it would allow you to search and find the wheels you are interested in, and when you click on it it would show you those rims on the car profile picture.

Does anyone know the site im talking about or know any other site that does the same thing?? I want to try and see the rims I like on the car before I buy them to make you they look good.

Bigger rims with skinner tires, or smaller rims with bigger tires?

Is this true?

(Off road car) Any ideas? http://bestwheels.net/car-wheels/using-bigger-tires-and-wheels-but-the-struts-are-in-the-way-off-road-car-any-ideas.php http://bestwheels.net/car-wheels/using-bigger-tires-and-wheels-but-the-struts-are-in-the-way-off-road-car-any-ideas.php#comments Mon, 10 May 2010 03:46:07 +0000 http://bestwheels.net/car-wheels/using-bigger-tires-and-wheels-but-the-struts-are-in-the-way-off-road-car-any-ideas.php I am planning on converting a 91 Dodge Colt in to a sort of semi sand car to off road in the desert around my area. The original wheels were 13s which I replaced with 15s. The next step was going to be getting larger off road tires for the new 15 x 8 rims. Like a fool I never really thought about the struts being in the way (Fenders are not a problem since I am removing them). Right now with lower profile street tires on the rims I have about an inch of clearance between the strut and tire and fitting larger tires on is not going to be possible. Do you have any advice? Would it be possible to swap out the struts for longer struts off of a different model car? A conversion to a different suspension type? (The struts on there probably wont hold up to too much of a beating anyways.)

Car details (Dodge Colt, 1.5 Litre, Front wheel drive, 4 speed manual tranny.)

I'm wondering how much a typical place would charge for just changing the wheels for me.

Would it be easier and more cost effective to purchase tools and do it myself?

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I own an old Corolla that has no rims and no nothing. The wheels pretty much look like this one except the inside is all black (http://img184.imageshack.us/i/foxsa9.jpg/).

Is there any cheap way to cover that up? I don't really want to spend 200 bucks on rims.
are the chrome wheel covers 15-20 each or all 4 of them?

I want to get some new mag wheels for my car, preferably 17". However i dont know what the bolt pattern is. Is it 4X100 or 4X114.3. Also, does it matter if i get rims with either of these bolt patterns or does it have to be specific to my car?
Thank you.
P.S. Im an aussie so my car is an aussie lancer

Its a good car, and I don't want to get rid of it, but its plain and a bit more conservative than I would like.

If I were to put larger wheels and low-profile tires on it, how large of rims could I fit without cutting into the wheel-wells? The standard wheel on my car is a 15" diameter.

Do wheel manufacturers sell wheels that are primered and ready to paint? Like with a chrome lip and the rest is primered? I think my best bet would be to buy some black rims since they would be easy to sand down than chrome ones. Thanks
