Superlite 15x7 25+ offset 4 lug 4x130 wheels, for those of you looking for something different Options

[Gint]

I had half a dozen titles for this thread in my head...

It's finally time to mount the Superlite wheels I bought in June 06. Mike Z was given a second chance offer from ebay when the auction didn't make reserve. He offered them up and I grabbed it. I bought them significantly cheaper than Pack Racing currently offers them for on their website. So it was worth it. Here's the original thread There were many questions (and even a little mis-information) in that thread. I'll answer quite a few here since I now have the wheels have tires mounted on them and I'm about to use them.

BTW - 914world member Nick Mironov has a thread about his Superlite wheels. Nick's superlite wheel thread . Nick, you want to read this thread and possibly talk to Pack Racing about a set of inserts with a proper conical lug bolt/nut seat.

Mine are 15x7 25mm+ offset.

IMHO, In a 15" wheel your best option is the 15x6 in 24mm+ offset or the 15x7 in 25mm+ offset. Ideally, the best Superlite wheel for a narrow body 914 would probably be the 16x7 35+ offset.

...so those 15" opions I would be able to direct swap my current 195/50/15's?


what tire size would be needed for the 16x7 to get them to fit .....

I have never bought aftermarket wheels for the car .. I guess I will pull the newbie role on this one and ask straight out .. what is the best set up wheel /tire size and possible spacer for these for use on a narrow body teener........ and which lug bolts would be required for those set ups

... sorry but I really am not wanting to get a tire rub blow out or have the wrong size blots and loose a wheel while cruising along

if you are ordering custom wheels... why use a spacer? get em to fit without a spacer!

fuchs 7" wheels have a 23mm offset. the 25mm offset gint used got them to sit 2mm more inward...

They aren't *that* custom Aaron. They only have a few sizes and they don't offer a 15" in 30 or 35 offset.
