I'm most likely going with the Maxlite fuchs style wheels, I'll be doing the 5 lug conversion. So, is there an advantage or disadvantage to 15" vs 16" wheels?
I'm leaning towards a 16x6 wheel with 195 or 205/ 50 or 55 tires. Straight body car no flares. |

I'am running maxilite wheels ,they are very good quality ,there was a limited shipment came to my country so I scored a set of 7'' and 8'' 16in ,i sold the 8'' ones as stayed narrow body in the end . Ultimately, I would have liked 15in deep sixes but appeared they wouldn't clear my Brembo 4 pot calipers . |
