I am getting new tyres but I am not sure which wheels to use.

New tyres will be 205/55R15 front and 225/50R15 rear.

I have a set of 4 15x6.5+45 BBS wheels that weigh 5.4Kg

They look good as a wheel but the rear offset is quite wrong.

At the moment I have 195/55R15 on the front BBS wheels and 205/50R15 on the rears

I have 185/65R15 gravel tyres on the standard 15s



I also have a set of standard SW20 15s.

In silver



or maybe paint them white to be different

i prefer none of them the bbs are nice but you need the right fitment it just looks off, + really needs some LOW.

I think the BBS would be better if they were a 17", and a touch lower.

The factory silver ones look best IMO.

Thats all I have to work with. Or I could go to the factory 14s.

There is no way I would lower the car. Too low as it is.

I don't want to spend more money than I need to on the car but correct wheel size and offset would make it look alot better.

Are those rally tyres on the 5 spokes? If yes go these and enter rally nz for fun!

Stock and silver for me, 15" BBS wheels just look too small on it.

Best out of those options IMO is the BBS option, just because its not factory, no other reason really, not a fan of that style of wheel. As above though, if that's how high it sits you NEED to lower it Doesn't matter which wheels you go for it looks like a 4wd

sell all 3 sets, and but a second hand set in the right fitment is probabbly your best option, hell id love to sell you a set of new wheels but it sounds like your limited on your budget.

if you lower it the handling will improve a lot as well. its really not a low car when you look at it must have at least 180mm ground clearance..?

When you can't get into your garage without destroying the front of the car, I think it's low enough as is.

I like the BBSs just because every man and his dog has the standard 14s or 15s and I want to be different.

But the are too small and wrong size.

They are from an early 90s Mazda Capella.

Its a standard car apart from a Simota panel filter and the aftermarket front lip.

I can only afford a new set of tyres. Don't know why I am getting T1Rs because I don't drive that fast.

But I would rather get good tyres than something that has less grip.

But they are really expensive.

BBS wheels. They are different and im a fan of BBS wheels (not related to the fact i have a set on my SW20, just a little bigger )

It can look better with the BBS wheels. Thats a bad angle.

This one is a little better but its still not right no matter how you look at it.



I have decided to go with the standard 15s and repaint them silver as they are scratched and could look better. They will also fit the new tyres better.

If the BBS were the right offset I would use them again.

Another vote for the BBS's. Although the Advan wheels would of course be sex. Someone in this country needs to be an agent for them so we can get our hands on them.
