A maybe fit?

Post by dbrick »

Saw these, looks like a cool set. Are they even close? My head still spins with the whole offset thing. I know there's no chance on my 64 with stock front feenders,

I *think* to have a wheel that wide fit, you would need to be in the range of a +20 to +25.

I put a set of the XXR (15x7) on my 510. Note: The picture below, has the rear wheels mounted, but the front were photoshopped.

Nice look, but I doubt you could make the 15x7 (smallest Size avail) fit the front of the SPL310.

I might be able to shed some light on this topic next week. I have a set of XXR, 15x7 w/15mm offset sitting in my garage waiting to be mounted. I went with the gunmetal grey which is a really sharp looking wheel. ( I think)
I don't know what size tires to put on them yet, 195 or 205....I'm hoping a local tire place will be patient enough to mount one and let me check it out before buying the rest. My car isn't on the road yet so it's going to take some running around to get all of it done. If anyone has any insight to what size tires I can run on a 69' with stock fenders please let me know.

I went with the 195s for the 510.

Some great deals on the tire prices available in this size. I ended up buying some Kuhmo for about $44 a piece (plus shipping)

**BTW, When my wheels arrived they sent three 'hyper silver' and on 'GunMetal' wheel. I actually preferred the GunMetal. The lip has a very nice slightly tinted color (as compared to the hyper-silver color) which really made the whole rim look great.

I have 205/60 14" with rims similar offset on my car. I can check the specific offset of those wheels when I get home.

On 15" rims the tires will be taller unless you can find a lower profile. You can use my handy-dandy spreadsheet (which I hope I have successfully attached) to calculate the rolling circumference and other boring stuff like that.

Checked those rims last night - correction - the tires are 195/60 14". The offset is 3/16 or about 5mm. (Offset inwards.)

A better datapoint is to just wait for someone with 15" rims to comment, I am sure someone has gone through this...
