Wheel Visualiser

Post by EK283 »

I come across this site looking for tyres and because I want to upgrade my wheels to 15 inch.

https://www.autoaddictions.com/wheel-visualizer/

Hours of fun, you can load a picture of your car and try all wheel types and sizes to suite your taste.

Hi there Bill,

I have at the moment 14 x 6 front HQ pattern and 14 x7 rear Fraud Pattern, Dragway prostars.

I want to change them to a different style but use 15 x 6 and 15 x 7 or 15 x 7 and 15 x 8.

All the wheels seem to 15 x 7 or 8 but you have to watch the offset and track.

The RMS rules say you can increase the track by 25mm but they don't really say much about decreasing the track or at least I can't find it ?

Your wheels should be ok engineering wise, what width are they ?

Greg

I wonder if the Visualiser can visualise 20” wheels on an EK?

Bigbird had trouble Visualising it... :lol:

When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Not true Bill,

There is scope for different diameter wheels, when you read the VSB14 it states that wheels on an axle must be the same eg front or rear.

There is allowable limits in general but if engineered there should be no issue.

What size are your tyres on the rear ?

Yes Bill for my club and conditional rego.

Nice tyre size choice by the way, how much room do you have in the rear from the tyre to the guard lip approx ?

Not sure now as the wheels aren't on the car but they sit in the middle of wheel arch I rolled the lip and took that little piece to the chase out They fit real well Front may be a problem on turns as I have 2" drop spindles and lowed springs should sit nice when the motor goes in
