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.
help would be appreciated
regards
sébastien

Hello sébastien,
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.
There are lot of great roads in europe
Greatings from Holland. |

A fair number of places in the US widen wheels in this manner (Stockton Wheel in Calif being one).

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.
