| Post subject: | 5 inch or 6 inch wheels |
Hi guys, I currently have 13 inch wheels on my round nose and would like to go back to 10 inch wheels. At the moment i have 13x5.5 superlights with 175x6x13 tyres TRhey look perfect on the guards as I have some flares but not too wide. Im looking at running 165 wide tyres on the 10 inch wheels, but dont know what is better to get either 6 inch or 5 inch. Would the 6 inch stick out from the guards and look silly or still be ok. All help is appreciated. cheers |

It depends on what flares you are running, what do you have? Personally i would go for 10x5's because they handle well and wont stick out of normal Cooper S flares |

If you have cooper flares then a 6 normally sticks out, currently on my car with cooper flares ive got two 12x6 revolutions on the front and two 10x5 revolutions on the rear and the fronts stick out and the rears dont. (i dont drive like that, they are on there for looks at the moment) |

the 13's on it dont stick out at all at the moment. they are 175 wide tyres however 5.5 inch rims. Im thinking the 6 inch rim with 165 wide would be roughly the same.. correct me if im wrong |

I pressume he is talking about Cooper S flares, because there was no cooper flares. |

I think you must have wider flares! |
