Thanks in advance

James

> wtb small wheels

Do you want small wheels? Or 13 or 14 inch wheels?
Just say no to big wheels.

wreckers round my way are no good for wheels unfortunately, they want 275+ which is out of my price range currently, anyone with spares that they dont want, doesnt have to be a full set im just real desperate (my tyres were in a shed for 10 years and are midway through deconstructing themselves, im not game to even try them on the road) but do need new tyres and preferably wheels, i am willing to swap the standard set as the rims are still good and they come with the original hubcaps (will try to get pictures). As i have big plans for the car i have no use for them but im sure someone local doing a resto would find something for them.

Thanks Again

James

this should be pretty easy to find, all japanese 4 studs are interchangeable, nissan, mazda, toyota, mitsubishi. subaru and honda same pattern but mostly fwd offset so leave them out, so any 13 inch rim off a rwd jap car will fit with the right offset, if u want 13's look at corolla, capella etc, if u want 14's look at corona, 200B, Bluebird, sigma, 929. Dont go any wider profile than 175 on front, 185 on back is ok.
u might have to put up with a bit of rubbing when cornering hard or turning full lock with 14's if they are a high profile like 175/75/14.
