I want to get another set of wheels for the white car, the 14" Fuchs are too limited on tire selection, plus too high RPM at freeway speeds, odometers off and so on.
Now the desicion, I've been offered a set of 16 x 7 Fuchs, but through my research if I understand right I would need just the right size tire then still have to pull the back fender a little to make them fit......if thats true, not sure I want to do that. (Narrow body car) Then yesterday I came across a set of 15 x 6 Fuchs, both sets are in very good condition and about the same price. Haven't done much research on 15" wheels, only have my iPhone this week, limited search ability. So what do the experts say, which will fix my issues better, 15" or 16".....and fit my car the best. Thanks Jeff |
