Buy the way, the car is not fully standard......
The 15'' rims are modified to 5,5J
Koni's, Lowering springs, nuova interior, etc...
But it still lookes original!
hello dennis,
How were the wheel modified from 4.5" to 5.5" ?
I currently have between 15 and 20 (don't know exactly) 15x4.5 rims for early Ti and Supers for only 2 cars. I plan to have some of them widened to run modern tires. (even if 155x15 are GREAT - both to look and drive - on a early 105 )
Oh by the way what is the brand of the springs you are using ? Unlike most of them, the car is not sitting too low.

73 Super 1.6
105.28 ( UK spec) 1.6 Super. Built 2/15/73. Purchased in 2005, I am 3rd owner from new with more or less complete history of 120,000 miles.Extensive restoration during 2006/7. including new floor pans, sills. Nut and bolt restoration of the Suspension, brakes, gearbox & rear drive train. Head skimmed, new valve seats, guides, valves , springs plus a 2000 cam. Ongoing with crank regrind, balance & new liners/pistons.
Sitting a bit high in these photo's, now fitted with new uprated springs & HB 29mm Front anti-roll bar.
Almost there!!!!!
The tires that I have on the car are 175/65/15 bridgestone.
The wheels are cut in half and then 1'' is welded between it. They are now 5,5J. I still have innertubes in the tires.
I don't know the name of the springs that I have mounted....sorry. I bought them from a friend.
I've had wheels widened this way, some were good, some not, its better to get new rims put on your centres although that may mean ending up with 15x6, or you could look for some second hand 5.5 wheels that fit and have the centres changed.
