Anyone Running 15x7 Wheels On Mi16?

[Guest PeterCrow]

Wondering about replacing the 15x6 & 195/55 wheel & tyre option with 15x7 & 205/55 to fill the wheel arches a little more.

 

What offset do I need. Given stock is ET29, I'm thinking ET15...?

 

(PS: I understand gearing will be approx 1.8% longer.)

 

Thanks -prc.

that sounds ok, but i think 7x16" will be better .

You're right in thinking 1/2 the extra width from the offset, but the SL434, which is 15x6.75 ET8 looks fantastic on an Mi16 with 205x50/15.

Do you mean the Nissan Patrol, or the Mi16x4? I guess the later...........std. 15x6".

what about spacers ? on stock wheels, not that i will put them on but just wondering if anyone did it.

Im running 205x50 on my stock 15's looks fine with me

But my 89 model has 14's and crazy to say but i kind a like them more, oldskool look and running 195x60 and proud lol

but i also agree that 16x7 is just right for these cars, who ever is into it. I love it stock on the outside and to have 600+ HP
