theres no point going bigger than 13x7s unless you've got 250+hp. as for the offset i had to find a p16 offset to miss my adj. platforms. if your ok with massive flares then any thing from p20 down is ok normally.

I had the same problem with the studs when I went to stanza studs. I just went to the local recker with one of my nuts (wheel nuts ) and found an old turbo bluebird and knocked the studs out. I decided to be extra tricky and I took two sets of rear studs coz they are longer dew to drum breaks. they fitted fine and gave me an extra 8mm thred.

hey mat what are you going to use the car for? I dont know about rally but on the track its real easy to over size the tires and mess with the handling. lots of guys say the bigger the better but depending on the horse power youll just end up sledging and the steering will become real hard. ive got a well worked 1200 and i run 185s which are real good.

what dimentions were your old wheels? and what size are your tires? i have a escort van as a every day driver and its always had ####ty handling which i just assumed was a ford thing. it was running 175x13 tires on 4 1/2 x 13 inch rims. the tires needed replacing a the tire guy said they were over tired and i should try 165s so i did and it is soooo much better it doesnt do any of the sluggy muddy #### it did before. so make sure you havent over tired your car.
