2002 Sport Brakes - wheels
 
I have installed 2002 Sport Brakes on my 1991 NA and I have not yet purchased wheels. I know the 2002 NB that the brake parts came from had the 5 flat spoke/2 dimple 16" wheels.

My question is: Do the Sport brakes require the 16" wheels or will 15" wheels still fit?

6UL's fit over Sport brakes.

Thank you. I have been looking at those. Do you have experience with them?

I was looking at a 15x7, 36mm offset or a 15x7.5, 42 mm offset with 225/50s mounted. Does this sound like a doable combination for a NA? Will this combo work on the front and the rear?

I have 15x9's on all four corners with 225/45 NT01's. If done again, I'd do 15x8's up front and 15x9's in the rear with the same tires.

chpmnws6, Thanks.

Had you considered going with 225/50? They are alittle taller and I am wondering if they would fit in front and rear.

May I ask why going down to 15x8 in the front?

chpmnsws6 May 4, 2011 03:16 PM

50's are too tall.

15x8's just fit a lot better :)

15 x 10's
 
6UL just came out with 15 x 10's do you think they would work well in the rear?

With flares.

If I keep driving this car again, I'll end up with them to stretch the back end out and get rid of the wheel spacers.
