The Wheel Fitment, Tyre size, Ride height picture library

[markbognor]

Questions regarding this sort of thing come up time and again, so prehaps we could create a library of these details to help others. This information combined with a photo is really useful for doing willtheyfit type comparisons as well as for those buying a first set of wheels or considering a particular fitment and drop. If the posts follow the same sort of format that would keep it nice and clear.

So, post one or two pics of your car (side or 3/4 would be nice & one down the length to show where the wheel sits relative to the bodywork), the wheel information (diameter, width, offset), tyre size and ride height.
A line that gives any extra info might help too, eg rolled arches, 20mm spacers on rear, OEM arch extentions, how much rubbing you get, that sort of thing.

left to right
1) matiz spring, 145/80/13, 5j 13 +23 offset, bottom of sill to floor 165mm
2) stock spring, 155/70/13, 5j +9 offset, sill to floor 185mm
3) cut and reworked matiz spring, 155/70/13, 5j +7 offset, sill to floor 160mm
4) cut and reworked stock spring, 155/70/13, 5j -5 offset, sill to floor 165mm
blue one is lighter, and would normally sit somewhat lower :grinning:

Some details/pics for stock height and factory wheeled cars are just as relevent as those with mods, whats the offset of the factory 13" & 14" steels & Option alloys? Those lowered but with factory wheels and those not lowered but with aftermarket wheels too, and any with non factory spec tyre sizes on the original wheels.

stock steelie,s are 13 or 14 x 5J CH X 45 mark (and my super s ally,s are 13 x 5.5J H2 ET38 )
and i think stock heights can vary (some facelifts look like they,re on stilts )
