Gadgetman Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 I'm looking at putting 4.5J 14" wire wheels on the vitesse, what is the best size tyre as I've lowered the rear by 1/2 "? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Tricky to answer. rotoflex or not? I ask as non-roto really needs 70 profile or more. http://www.oponeo.co.uk/advice-and-tips/tyre-size-calculator/155-80-r13#alternativeTireTool gives alternative similar overall diameter tyres. Looks like 165/65 or 70 tyres would be a good choice. I take it you can get the correct offset with wires? That will be important here especially if lowered. And just a thought, there is an assumption that wires are being fitted for looks, and you understand the wobbly nature of such wheels (though there are some which are better than others with more spokes etc). And you like cleaning wheels....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 we have three cars changed wires to alloys and it transforms the handling from pretty hopeless to snappy then theres the safety factor of wire with punctures just deflate, ...here comes the hedge and ditch or armco sydrome look nice I agree with Clive thats about all they do .
