STARLETPOWER Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 is it a ep82 or ep91? n/a or turbo model?17's could be a bit overkill on the wee 1.3 n/aRich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Toymota* Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 if its a 1.3na then 16s are best as they keep what speed it has and its handling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STARLETPOWER Posted January 14, 2006 Author Share Posted January 14, 2006 ep 91 i think Quote Link to post Share on other sites

starletno1fan Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 i have 15s on mine, its just perfect Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
*Toymota* Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 ive only got 16's an my speedo is out by 4mph. does my head in! haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nanglebadger Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 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.Phil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STARLETPOWER Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 cheers lads for now ill think ill go for some 16s safety first and then maybe ill get something a little bigger later Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STARLETPOWER Posted January 15, 2006 Author Share Posted January 15, 2006 nice 1 mate i dont understand y 16s are more expensive than 17s. c how the 16s go for now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simon Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 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.Simon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobotomy Posted January 15, 2006 Share Posted January 15, 2006 Use this; My Bro's Handy Tyre Sizer utilityIt'll tell you the difference in rolling radius, sidewall height and how much itll put your speedo out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 thats awesome!! really handy!! i think it should be made a sticky somewhere... what do you guys think??Rich. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatstarlet Posted January 16, 2006 Share Posted January 16, 2006 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.cheersgreg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
