Tiny Little Car - Much Bigger Wheels...

[alanbradley]

Well, its only taken me about 5 months but I finally got a nice new set of 195/45 R16 Toyos fitted to the OZ wheels this morning (please let that be last time I ever need to buy 4 at once )

I stuck 2 of them on for a trial fitting this afternoon (they need spacer rings and the correct nuts before they can stay on - hopefully mid week) and took a couple of piccys for your delectation...

I have to say that I'm pretty chuffed with the looks as they fill the arches nicely - especially at the back - without looking like they've come from a Ripspeed catalogue.

Anyhow, that's this month's money spent - next month it a power box and then I'll be all sorted for the 'Ring at Easter :D

PS Apologies for piccys from the phone, the camera seems to be TU <_<

What size are they? Is that a good price?

[Woody27]

Very nice design but i would say again that the car is sitting too high! :o Mad as there 16's and its lowered but they look a lot less arch hugging than others. Maybe its the lower profile tires but shouldn't make that much difference!

i stand corrected! therefore she looks the nuts mate!

[reece]

they need spacer rings???

[alanbradley]

Yes... The bore diameter of the wheel centre is larger than that of the central spigot bitty on the Yaris hub. As a result its better (for the sake of £6) to do the job properly so there's less risk of damage to either the wheels or to myself

Funny you guys should comment on the height, because I thought the same. The suspension won't be changing for the forseeable future though - the car has to remain practical and it scuffs often enough as it is tbh.

The wheels look so much smaller on than they did when they were sitting in a stack.

Thanks again for all the kind words folks..

It is Centralising rings... spacer rings are what you would do if the offset isn't right.. spacer rings go in between the wheel and the hub to bring the wheel away from the inner wing/strut, centralising rings convert the bore hole to the same size as the lip on the hub.

Just thought i'd clear that one up

Looking good though Alan

[jaxx]

should get some proper shots with that scottish moorland in the back ground al

[clarky]

Looking really nice Alan

[alanbradley]

I've been out admiring it again... here are some better pics courtesey of Canon rather than Nokia

Cheers for clearing that up for me Davy - I'll get the terminology right at some point

... and a close-up of one of the wheels

Ta-da!

Apologies for the road-crap (and sheep-crap I see in the close-up) covering the car. I promise it was sparkling on Tuesday...

[Kev Mc]

Beautiful

[jaxx]

that does look smart Al, very good choice in wheelage, i nearly had them back in the day, wish i had done now!

[Ryan1985]

They are sweet Alan!

I think it's sitting at just the right height btw!

Are they Tyres T1-R's?
