#1: wheel and tyre sizes? Author: Chris180, Location: northumberlandPosted: Sun Oct 24, 2010 3:29 am ---- i'm lookin to get some 16" wheels for my 180 but i'm not sure about sizes i want some 7" x 16" wheels but have no idea about the fitments
for example 4 x 100 et38
and also what tyres would be needed to go with these and would i need splacers to fit the alloys to the car

4 x 108 which is pug/ford fitment
offset of 28 - 25, pug offset, if you get Ford wheels the offset is 38, so you will need 10mm spacers and extended bolts.
I wouldn't go more than 7.5 to 8" wide to be fair
We can sort you out tyre and wheel packages if you want.

You must really drive on the limit (or race) to consider going down a size, lol. Will that improve the handling that much? I presume you've uprated everything else?
