Big wheels

Post by polo2k »

Hi all,

Im building a custom minor and I should start thinking ab out wheels at some point.
Im planning on using a capri Axle which will dictate a 4x108PCD, so I might as well use this all round.

If you have any pictures or minors on bigger wheels please post them.

I put a front wing on a 17" alloy and from what I saw, an 18" tyre would match the arch radius nicely. I realise that this may look too big for the car though, so I need your advise!

Post away:

Ill start with a bit of a legend:
