Wheels

[K11_Micra_Lover]

What kind of wheels are people using as I'm looking a set of wide wheels to put on the car once lowered?

 

[karlj]

I really want to put a sarcastic comment saying round ones

 

[karlj]

But a little more is needed from your question, do you want to know diameter, width, offset or general style of the wheel

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

Basically everything you have said there I don't know anything about what I'll need I have standard micra ones ATM

 

[karlj]

I've run 13x5 et 40, 13x6 et 20, 13x7 et 10, 14x5.5 et 40, 14x6 et 40, 15x6.5 et 38

Current wheels are 15x6.5 et 38. In my opinion this is the best all round setup, if you want wide wheels you'd be best off following the crowd and put some 13x7 wheels on but you'd need to do arch work with the vast majority of available wheels

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

I don't really want to do that, I want the wheel to stick out just a little from the arches without spacers or even little spacers

 

[karlj]

Without knowing what size wheels you want makes it difficult to suggest something that'd work

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

Sticking with 14s but I'd go to 15s

 

[karlj]

Decent 14's are few and far between unless you want custom (expensive), 15's have a massive selection and are generally cheaper but unless you're going silly wide have quite conservative offsets

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

What would you run on 14s?

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

I'd want them something like this

 

[karlj]

They're most likely 13x7 et-7 with giant tyres

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

So how would I get around getting them?

 

[yorkiesteve]

I am running these 14 x 7 + 19s { i think 14s are the perfect size for micra personally } with slightly stretched 165/55 rubber

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

A cheap option is these from the Almera, which is what I run.

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

What offset are the standard micra ones?

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

These ones?

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

I would probably guess at a zero offset as they're not very wide. I'm sure some one will know exactly.

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

Would you know the J measurment

 

[Agent_Sm1th]

Not of those Micra ones, but mine are 5.5.

 

[K11_Micra_Lover]

OK I'm looking for like 7J if possible and do minilights for easily on the micra?

 

[Jungl3]

I'd want them something like this

I love those too, I think Micras suit a small wide'ish wheel.

I can't seem to find anything second hand maybe because I'm new to all this but I have found these Starmags which should fit after the centre bore is milled from 58mm to 60mm.

Mate it looks to me like most people have superlights.

just so happens JBW have an offer on superlights at the minute think it's 20% off although this offer is only for the classic mini PCD which is 4x101.8 (I think) which should (double check this) work if you use wobble/corrective bolts.
