13x7 superlites on 165/50s

they gona be alright?

You cant get 165/50 in 13 inch, 165/55 is the closest you'll get and they'll be fine!

^ apart from the fact they will scrub if they are mini fitment due to the silly low offset

ok thanks :)

nah they shouldnt scrub I'm only down 60 front

erm yes they will, they have fucking stupid offsets, usually -7 so stick a mile out of the arch, so yes, they will scrub

165/50s also look stupid on a 7 inch rim, but if you want to drive around in an illegal car be my guest

alright chill out a bit what tyres you recommend?

i wouldnt recommend tyres for superlites, id recommend not running them and getting wheels that fit properly, or running 175/50s and having arch-work done.

there is also a thread regarding the exact same wheels with a far more descriptive topic title about 6 posts down from this...

mmm now i dont know what to do, i dont want illegal wheels and shit load of hassle flaring the arches but i love superlites

get smoors then, they are very similar, come in 4x100 and have dub friendly offsets

theres no dish on em thats the reason i wanted superlites, also how much are they i cant find em for sale anywhere? thanks

I'm bored of holding your hand now

Yeah dude, Mini wheels are illegal on the front of Mk3's without arch work unfortunately...

But i had 13x7 ET -7 with 165/55 all round, on an 80/60 kit and never had one bit of scrubbing...

They were nice wheels, but looking back, the fitment was gash!

take the mouse out your arse

so am i being ripped of paying 400 with tyres lol? what car you got now

No car at the moment dude..

Tbf wheels are worth whatever youre willing to pay for them.. but for 400 i'd expect them to be near mint condition with quite new tyres..

ah man get a mk3 i never see any around here, going to fetch them wheels in a minute for 400 the tyres done 1k mile look fresh and the wheels are pretty much mint theres like one tiny curb :) thanks for the advice dude

aitwes are lush mate, and sit really well.

glad you've seen the light

aha thanks, i just broke my last ratchet trying to test fit them though, didnt even get the first wheel off
