wheel rims - Qaranc - 28:th-Feb-2019 Have got a set of 205/55/r16 snow tyres and i want to put them on my 14 astra elite what rim size do i need to look for. thanks RE: wheel rims - Big Dave2 - 1:st-Mar-2019 r16 means the tyres are 16" in diameter, so you'll need 16" wheels. RE: wheel rims - Qaranc - 1:st-Mar-2019 does it matter which 16 rims as they are on vectra alloy rims at the moment RE: wheel rims - Big Dave2 - 4:th-Mar-2019 (1:st-Mar-2019, 21:58:52)Qaranc Wrote: does it matter which 16 rims as they are on vectra alloy rims at the moment Depends which braking system you have. J60 or J67. I think the 1.4 has J67 braking system, so you'll need the wheels for that. 205/55/r16 is the wrong size for 16" Astra wheels though. They should be 205/60R16, so with a reduced side wall profile the speedo will over-read slightly. There are also insurance implications to consider as well, having the wrong sized tyres fitted. The following info is copied from another site. For Astra J 5-door hatchback, Sports Tourer and 4-door notchback with 1.4, 1.6, 1.4T and 1.3CDTi engines (J67 braking system): PCD 5x105 (distance between neighbouring bolts is 61.7mm), centre bore 56.6mm 16" wheels: 6½J x 16 offset 39, tyre 205/60R16 |
