5.5j alloy wheel questions

[flowersGTR]

hi
was looking to get some decent rubber for my morris finaly was thinking yokohama a538 in a 185
was hoping to get some 14" minilight wheels
my question is then are there any issues fitting tyres this size to a morris? i am thinking about lowering at somepoint in the near future as well

and what offset will i need?

thank you very much

Hi George,
Not sure about the offset myself, but regarding tyres: I have 195s fitted on 14" x5.5J Minilights and it is fine at the standard ride height, however, I am going to lower the car also and they're definitely going to make some contact going over bumps... might not be the case on 185s but then it is only 10mm so couldn't say for sure.
If you were to cut away the lip inside the wing you may get away without needing to flare or widen the arches...
HTH

anyone know the best offset then??
i was going to get the tracking done as well would it be better to get it done with the new wider wheels or the originals??
thanks

Check out the JLH website - Jon sometimes has 'good deals' - and he will advise which wheels/tyres are best - and with the correct PCD and offset. http://www.jlhmorrisminors.co.uk/store/ ... t&catId=20
