I'm no fool...
...but,
I can cope with the theory, but it occurs to me that without any experience in the potential pitfalls and problems that may come with fitting non-standard wheels I may be setting myself up for a lot of wasted time, and worse still, money.
My ambition is this: Small rims with a deep "outset" and fat (ie thick, not low profile) and possibly quite wide tyres. Basically I'm looking for the kind of look you get on the old GMC vans or The A Team van, if you like, see reference pics below.
(I'm not going for a replica A Team van BTW, just in case you were worried)
So can anyone help me with understanding the ranges of the various specifications that i need to look for?
Also can anyone advise me on the possible issues that will be thrown up by putting such wheels on, or if it is even possible?
I have an ex-AA, which is currently fully standard, including 16" brakes on 15" wheels I believe, likewise I don't know what the implications of this is either.
Am i asking too much? Or is it a very simple and specific question?
Please help.
Ben.
Thanks.
