Question about Rims + tyres compatability.

[Elwood]

G'day guys.

Im abit 'iffy' about ordering my Rota Slipstreams from the US as i want to make sure that im giving all the right info reguarding size etc etc.

May seem abit n00bish, but just making sure:

16x6.5 (or 7.5 cant remember which)5x114.3

Then:

Tyres - i want a nice looking offset (Im buying the tyres locally) and just want to know if there is anything like load rating and all that baffle i should worry about. I want the Michellin PP2's. Not sure what size tye would fit the 6.5" (205/R16/??)



Any info i have missed out on or should know?

Pretty sure the rims on my car are 6.5" wide (16" diameter). They've got 205/45R16 rubber. I'll take a pic if you like.

[Elwood]

^That'd be helpfull.

Whats the offset?

[Zilli]

where r u getting them from from the states mate?

[Elwood]

^Most likely, unless i can get directly from Rota for less than $450 USD

I have got 16x7 +40 Rota slipstreams on my DC2R. I would say this is the maximum you would want to go. Its very close to rubbing on the rear. Thats with 205/45 tyres.

I would go +42 or +40 at the most with that size rim ^^^

[Elwood]

^Thanks Dean.

I PM'd you on ozhonda about your supplier of the Rota's a few days back.

With the tyres, I believe the DC5 has 205/55 R16 89V on a 16x6.5" JJ rim. The simplest way to get a defect from the cops is to have tyres under rated, ie less than 89 or less than V.
