Lug Conversion!!!
Im about to buy some Si wheels like my artist rendering shows (thanks Marnie, you kick ass). Does anybody have any idea what lug conversions run for? And will the tires already on the wheels fit on my car? Help me out here.

RE: Lug Conversion!!!
survey says:
it's over the recommended 3% difference. :( [IMG]local://upfiles/4155/FC9D48F6697D427BB7E696F74A9F619E.jpg[/IMG] |
RE: Lug Conversion!!!
what does that mean?
|
RE: Lug Conversion!!!
your speedometer will be wrong, and overall the tires will be bigger by almost 1.5". I don't know if that's enough to start rubbing. Probably not. It will cut down on wheelgap ;) but this warning comes up too:
When changing tire sizes, we recommend staying within 3% of the diameter of the original tire. Any more than this and you face the risk of brake failure. |
RE: Lug Conversion!!!
then wouldnt that apply to everybody that has aftermarket wheel 16" and bigger!?
|
RE: Lug Conversion!!!
Nah, you just need a different profile tire.
I have 205/45/R16 on mine. And I also have 16x6.5 wheels. |
RE: Lug Conversion!!!
I really dont want to buy $500 in tires if I dont have to.
|
RE: Lug Conversion!!!
Yeah I understand. But I don't know how much "over" in size you can REALLY get away with.

ORIGINAL: mxs p.s.: good deal on the wheels [sm=smiley20.gif] If you mean that by the auction, yea I think so. Who is the the local wheel guru around here anyway? |
