Show me your 14"er wheels ;)

[Broony]

steady.................Im debating on running 14" wheels. I have 15's atm and they fit the car well just woundering if 14's would be lost in the arch with 45 profile tyres, im running d2 coilovers.

Lets get pic whoring

tidy that like^^^ you know you need to go lower

hmm i hope 45 profile dont get lost as im a big fan of low profile

[Asad]

Unless they are uber rare alloys/you dont want any others/very temp wheels id avoid 14" at all costs....i run standard 14" glanza alloys on my NA good tyres are very hard to find of which theres is very few brands....your limited with brake upgrades....not to mention the traction issues with a smaller footprint even with some ok ish tyres...

Stick to your 15" alloys would be my advice

[micky boy]

I do agree with Asad tyers can be a bitch to fine but if you know the right people then you shouldnt have a proble As for traction i dont have a problem what so ever tbh but saying that ill let you know when i turn the boost up to 1.1bar nextweek lol

[Broony]

was going to say i am running a tdo4, i do understand bigger wider wheels more traction etc as i had 9's on my s14a. tyres are availible on cam skill black circles etc. the only worry is brake upgrades . im looking at getting the 4 pot kit of the trader on here

[micky boy]

Hmm you might struggle then dude

[Asad]

Tyres are avaliable but good ones arent, tr1's/uniroyals/eagles etc there arent any....kumho ku31's were the daddy imo now theyve been superceeded by kh31 which i have on order and im not holding my breath :/ ....Traction/handling in the dry and wet becomes a massive issue for a turbo car with cheap tyres

14s FTW

tires are indeed a prick, avoid the Continentals, they am SHITEEEEEE!!!!

but 14s are for sexy winners!

[micky boy]

Never realy looked on camskill and im quite likeing the prices tbh and decent brands like you say

[Broony]

i may just be happy with 14's

[Asad]

I was advised not to run 195s on a 5.5j rim iirc so make sure yours is wider

[Amjad]

I doubt you'll find a 4pot brake kit that'll fit under 14s I'm only running GT4 Brakes with a 277.5mm disc and they just fit under my 15"s, I believe the aftermarket brake disc sizes are even bigger

[DaddyDutch]

I'm running Standard Glanza 14's with 55's on the front & 60's on the rear.

Need to be paying a visit to Camskills soon enough though.

because Tyres are fierce expensive over here.

Was quoted 320e for good quality ones!!!!!!!

[Asad]

Wms does a 14" 4 pot brake kit and a twinpot kit, but they are like ~£100 less than a standard size 4pot brake kit for the starlet which has a bigger disc......again it boils down to the wheels are they that special? I understand phils situation as his wheels are unique/rare....use 15"...the worlds your oyster

[Starbuck]

14" TOMs New Actions

[Nanglebadger]

WMS do 4 pots for 14" wheels???????????????????? THATS AWESOME!

also, there's bound to be some small wilwoods to fit under them. surely some mini owners upgrade their brakes and they run 13"s.

Phil.

[Asad]

Theres a template which you can try for the 14" then keri does the rest

[Socks]

My ultralite G-Spec's are 15's and in terms of clearance, there is loads for my willwoods. I reckon they'd clear 14's if the 14's were a decent open design...

[Broony]

nah itsjust some 14' sparco wheels that i think suit the car very well and i havent seen many about. meh if i need bigger wheels later on then so be it

[kbond]

Ive got some 14" sparcos for sale if anyone wants some 14s ftw!!!

[Broony]
