Title: wheel widths n stuff ?
Post by: brooksie on August 23, 2004, 07:57:16 PM
Hi guys

just a quick couple of questions .. what are the width of the standard Mazda 16" alloys please ???

also .... the car i\'ve got coming has the RE-Amemiya wheels, just wondering what width these are ??

and lastly will somethign like 17 x 10 fit under them there arches ?? ... i imagine a wee bit of rolling of the inner arch and flaring of the outer will be required ?? ..

here\'s a pic of the car with the RE-A wheels .. i may be selling these, anyone got a rough idea of value ?? ..

Jeez thats alot of questions !!!!!

Taaaa

17 x 10 will go if the offfset is right as one of my sets is that size and doesnt rub or anything.

They are also worth a fair amount of money if in good condition, and still worth a good price if scuffed.

They do different widths depending on what that owner wanted. But they will all be correct for an FD.

This wheel size is embossed on the original wheel for both width and diameter.
