Wheel types and sizes.

[maxducati]

Hi. I was looking for some advice and have searched the forums, but cant find the answer. I have a 235/65/R17 tyre on the wheels purchased with the vehicle. They are a nightmare to find inexpensive tyres for. Everyone else seems to run 235/75/15's. Can anyone recommend a good inexpensive wheel seller. The vehicle spends some of its time off road, but, not off roading, mainly tarmac. It doesnt need fancy wheels, but definitely not white!

Thanks for any help

I managed to get Nexen budget tyres in that size for £75 a pop and they seem really good, they're road biased though, I wouldn't be able to predict performance off-road!

And being in France I can see your problem. As suggested, the terrano went progressively from 15" to 16" to 17" wheels, but with the tyre profile changing (reducing) every time to keep the rolling diameter the same....so you can source and fit any 15/16" Terrano wheels with the appropriate tyres (Zippy will post a wheel/tyre sizing guide now!) without problem. Or even consider upsizing your existing tyre profile a tad if a slightly bigger size in 17" is available?

and if you want to work out how to keep the same rolling diameters put the different size options into the boxes here :thumb2

Try www.camskill.co.uk for tyres, www.4x4tyres.com for rims. You can get modular steels new for £35 each, or ebay any Japanese 6 stud wheels except Suzuki, and Daihatsu. I have hilux alloys both for £50 all 4.

although its true that most Jap 6-studs will fit, wheel offset varies considerably and can prevent fitting if they catch your calipers.
