15" Alloys

thrupp · Nov 1st, 2011, 13:48

Hi,
is there anybody out there who would want to sell a set of 15" Alloys to fit Winteryres on. (195 65 15)
Should be suitable for 98 AWD.

London area or thereabout.

Thanks

Thomas

thanks for the link.
Can you confirm what the width of these alloys is. Will they handle 195 65 15 winter tyres? What size are the contis and how much tread is left.

thanks

The continentals have sold i'm afraid. They will fit 195/65R15 winter tyres on no problem and those tyres are the correct size for the wheel. In fact I think those are the size of the tyres currently on there. Will check and report back to you

Are you sure 15" alloys will fit over the brakes on the AWD, I would check the diameter of the brake disks on the front wheels before getting a set of wheels that might not fit - Mike

Hmmmm, not sure - still learning about the car....
The handbook calls for 195 65 15 winter tyres so i would expect them to fit.
Mike - do you have different idea???

Which wheels will fit on this car? Any help on appreciated.

Thanks

Thomas

As I said, measure the diameter of the front barke disks:

280MM will be ok for 15"
302MM will not work with 15"

Thanks Mike excellent advise - I checked and they are indeed 280mm. Does anybody know if the wheels below will fit onto the awd? I find this very confusing:

”Antlia” 6,5 x 15”
aluminium wheel
Offset: 43 mm
Rec. tyre size:
195/60 R15 88V

I hope you can help

Thanks

Hi Thomas

The wheels will definitely fit over your brakes if they are 280mm.

I have checked the tyre size of the tyres currently on the wheels and they are 195/60R15

You will be able to fit 195/65R15 tyres on no problem. They are only 5% bigger in the sidewall which will equate to a slightly bigger rolling radius = your speed will be higher than your speedo used to indicate. Most speedos overread anyway as gps/satnavs show, so the end result will likely be that your cars speedo will now be accurate! Hope that makes sense!

Hi Joda - thanks for clarifying.
What is your 2011 price for the set? I have an offer which is a good bit cheaper than the 105 you had in mind in your initial post.
