New Rims are narrower than Old...

Featured Replies

I am changing from my 14 x 7 rims to a 14 x 6. I have got 215/60/14. I know these tyres will fit, but do you think the increased tyre wall roll will be noticable?

Edit: Ill give you a bit more information, I am changing to the 280zx six spoke rims, which i thought were 14 x 6 (?). Is it possible/advisable to get these rims altered to be 7' wide?

Thanks for your help.

Depends what you use the car for. For ordinary street use you probably will not notice the difference but for hard use its a bad idea.

It is possible to cut and shut wheels to widen the rims but illegal for public road use.

Great, yeah these will be for street use.

Cheers
