  • Enough With The Dang Rim Questions Collegeboi :p

    Well I have been searching for 13 inch rims for a few weeks now.

    I went from 10 gtx rims to, why would i need that much and i would rather have 13 inch rims

    SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO




    4 mag 13 inch rims. Guy said its 15 years old and doesnt know the offset/width

    It looks deep and will stick out but my question is how to figure out THE OFFSET/WIDTH.

    guy has no idea. I want to just jump n it 4 rims for 40 $$ did i mntion thier mag.




    I searched the tires and only got this

    We received our set of 13x51f2-inchers, along with a set of Penney's gigantic new B60x13 Scat Trac 60 Competition Profile tires.

    ^^^^^^ could be a clue that the rims are 5.5 wide


    My 2 questions are
    How to find offset/width based on tires/ ad (if possible)
    would all 13 inch tires fit it or a special kind of 13 inch tire, being its wider?

    old slot mags probably from a mustang or something...offset is close to "0" is my guess...they'll stick out bad

            Looks to me that one set is +25mm and the other is 0 offset. Both sets will stick out.

                so the widths are 7 inches and 6 inxhes,

                been reseaching abut cant seem to find the stock width, that could give me an idea of how much it would stiock out.

                also need info on mk2 flares to see the mods.

                  Aluminum rims are 5.5 wide. They may not stick out that much or at all. But you would have to watch the struts/ spring perches and inside fender walls to make sure they didnt rub. And even then they may rub while turning.

                      you almost answered your own question, the best way to see if they'll rub is to bolt them on the car and look if they rub anywhere
