My Short Lived Love....bye bye rims :(

[waleed80]

well.....abt 3 weeks backs or so i went to get the security lock adjusted on my front left door.....saw these rims across the road and somehow loved them on the first site....got them fixed in the car....but due to they outward protruding design, the tyre edges were touching the fenders (with only 2 persons load)....therefore, returned back to the shop within 30 minutes of installation just wanna share the pics with u guys

In pic 3 and 4, the touching marks of fender with the tyre circumfrence can also be seen

[DCcoolguy]

bro seemz of size !

[waleed80]

they are 13s.....and the stock size is 13 too. it just that the spokes are protruding outwards, thereby pushing the tyres out...and they were touching the fenders on bumps

[honrolla]

should have used lower profile tires ... oh man !

[waleed80]

nothing to do with low profile boss. as i said before, the spoke design was the problem, not the size

[jz]

Walled bhai next time get 65 profile tyres rather than 70,these look 70 to me,incase u plan to change the tyres soon enough,get the rims back,on a 65 profile they wont hit the inside wall

[Bilaltq]

No but I agree on the profile. I don't know if it's the OEM profile, but you can pass these off for Land Cruiser tires if you photoshop the picture!

In any case, what rims do you have on now?

[malik593]

That is because they have the wrong OFFSET. Please read up on this critical mesurement for any future wheels that you may select.

There is more to selecting a wheel and tire combo than just size of the wheel and the tire.

the OEM tyre size is 155/80/13...and i m currently using 185/70/13...well within acceptable range....and i m currently using the same old Chinese rims which i got with the car and i kinda dont like them specially after losing their center fitting here is the link to my ride's pics

none....i told him if there is any problem, i wud return them

[waleed80]

ppl suggest spacers and packing but they make the ride stiff...wud never go for them..the only solution is to go for the rims with better offset i guess

There is NO issue in old topics coming up. Only those which have become outdated for example, about a member searching for something, or on a deal from someone, posted several years ago and no longer in place, are shut down.
