What size alloys are best for the starlett

[STARLETPOWER]

hey people im new here , just asking if anyone knows whats the best size alloys are to put on the starlet. im thinking of getting some 17's but is that to much on a 1.3CD

[scutch0]

is it a ep82 or ep91? n/a or turbo model?

17's could be a bit overkill on the wee 1.3 n/a

if its a 1.3na then 16s are best as they keep what speed it has and its handling.

[STARLETPOWER]

ep 91 i think

[scutch0]

not a very good pic, but ep82 n/a:

ep91 n/a:

[STARLETPOWER]

cheers bud, yeah i know now its a ep91 P.reg nippy little bugger.

[starletno1fan]

i have 15s on mine, its just perfect

[SiCaln]

bear im mind any size u go other than factory will put the speedo out slightly, i had to always go 5mph below speed limit with my 18s - may not sound like a lot but just be careful with speed cameras

[*Toymota*]

ive only got 16's an my speedo is out by 4mph. does my head in! haha

[Nanglebadger]

its all about personal taste...at the mo i have 14s (how lame), hopin to get 17s, depends on wot YOU like and think is best for your own car dude.

cheers lads for now ill think ill go for some 16s safety first and then maybe ill get something a little bigger later

[Sparky]

yea mate im goin 4 16s i think even though they are more expensive to buy, and 4 tyres than 17s. i just put d2 coilovers on my car and i want to make the most of them so im gna slamm it on a nice set of race style blak rims. shuld look sweet

[STARLETPOWER]

nice 1 mate i dont understand y 16s are more expensive than 17s. c how the 16s go for now

[Simon]

If you want to go quick stick with 15's. If it's looks then 17's are good.

Problem you find with 16's is they are not that commonly used so the tyres tend to cost more money.

Use this; My Bro's Handy Tyre Sizer utility

It'll tell you the difference in rolling radius, sidewall height and how much itll put your speedo out!

[scutch0]

thats awesome!! really handy!! i think it should be made a sticky somewhere... what do you guys think??

Rich.

[fatstarlet]

that tyre sizer is awesome, it showed me how far out my 91 will be with the new rims. will have to go and get recalibrated to suit now.

cheers

[STARLETPOWER]

to small for my liking, they gotta be able to see you coming, but they do look pucker though.

[STARLETPOWER]
