Wheels

Post by antodeco »

Hi all,
Just wondering how do I find out what wheel size I need? I have a set of supalights on it at the minute, but looking for a change of design. The current tyre is 175/50/13. I like the wider stance that is currently on the car, but I have no idea what size wheel it is (if its 5.5/6/7/?)

Any help appreciated. Thanks

Usually stamped on the back of the wheel otherwise you would have to measure from the inside of the rim to inside of the rim which would mean taking a tyre off but try the back first.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

Thanks for that! I'll have a look. I'm replacing the tyres anyway, so they need to come off!

Thanks guys. Turns out they're 13x7JJ. Seems the double J thing is making it hard to find wheels, or am I just reading it wrong?

"JJ" is only a reference to the wheel edge flange profile.

Thank you! So any 13 x 7 wheel should be fine?
