borbet a's on my vento?
« on: 12 January 2011, 16:56 »
right thinking of getting some 16" borbet a alloy wheels to fit on my car which is this





also what size well width wheels should i use? and what width tyres as i want it to be minimum lowered 120mm tbh

and which one of these would be a good fit? as offset and all that jazz starts confusing me lol

Yeah will look sweeeet dude, i would personally go for 16x9 all round, get your arches rolled maybe get them pulled slightly with some strech on the tyres and you should be fine running low i believe the 9's are ET15 so would sit pretty flush ;) i think 195/45/16's would be a perfect choice of tyre if you wanna keep it low!

195/45/16 on 9's;

Ah sweet, i'm not too sure dude mine were only 16x7's with stupid amount of strech haha. I'm sure with abit more strech / arch work you can get it sitting dickhead low ;) have a look on http://www.tyrestretch.com to get an idea man, but borbet a's will look sweet on the vento!
