Welcome Tomas, and don't worry about your English, it's very good. When you say discs, do you mean the wheels? as you mention them along with tyres I thought it was maybe something lost in translation. I am not able to advise you properly, but I think someone who can will give you an answer soon.

 

[Satikk]

Thank you very much Cossack for welcome. Yes sorry,i mean ET of wheels or rims offcourse.(In our country we say disk.)

Hi Tomas and welcome

The standard (factory) tyre size is 265/70R16 but you can go to 265/75R16 without any mods. Many on here (myself included) have done that. The 265/75 tyres tend to be cheaper too.

If you go for a body lift and/or suspension lift and are willing to do some small mods, then you open up many more options.

Thank you chadr for your advice!

Now I have to buy a tyres which I can give there withouth any mods.Now I dont have enough money for buying suspension but i Need a tyres becouse now we have here winter and in Februar i will go to offroad driving on mountains.And i would like to buy better tyres and in maximal size i can give there. ok so 265/75/16

Chadr,please do you know something about wheels ET? With new tyres I would like to buy new wheels too,but i dont know,which ET is better? ET-25 16x7 or ET-40 16x8? I mean,that ET-25 16x7 will be good for this tyres and this car. What is your opinion?

Thank you

Tomas

 

[chadr]

From what I remember the standard 90 series wheels are ET-15 16X7.

However please wait until someone else confirms that.

 

[Satikk]

Ok,thank you.

I would like to buy this black wheels for new tyres,so ET-25 will be ok.It is different only one cm.What do you mean?It will be good?

My friend bid for me BF Goodrich KM2 235/85/16. What do you think about this size for my LC90? Thanks for advices.

 

[Bounder]

Those black wheels look to be 5 stud, you need 6 studs for a 90 series.

 

[Satikk]

Thank you,but this is only a picture. My wheels will be 6 studs

I'm pretty sure you're correct there Chad...

Satikk, just be careful on the offset of your new wheels - I don't know whether the additional 1cm offset is in towards the car or out away from the car!!! It would be better to be away from the car IMHO...

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

I would double check if that offset is + or -. The standard wheels will more than likely be a + offset. 80 series 16x8 alloys are 0 offset. A -25 offset would be like 80 series wheels with 25mm spacers which I think from what I've read in the past would be a lot of offset for a 90?

 

[Gav Peter]

I'm pretty sure the Colorado 5-spokes that I used to have were -15 offset Jon... And you are certainly right about the 80 alloys being zero offset.

As the 80 alloys 'stick out' more than the old Colorado alloys on our 90, extrapolating (sp.) this logic, wouldn't this mean the -25 offset rims would be further under the arches rather than out???

I'm in danger of serious confusion here not knowing for sure which way the +/- moves the wheel

 

[Jon Wildsmith]

if you add spacers you add negative offset, does that help 80 wheels with 30mm spacers are effectively ET -30.

 

[Gav Peter]

It tells me the opposite of what I expected & I causes more confusion as I don't understand why my 80 alloys now stick out (or appear to...) more than the negative offset 90 alloys they replaced... Or is this a function of the 80 wheel being an inch wider...

So long as its all helping Satikk along though (which I very much doubt my input has done here )

 

[chadr]

I always thought that "0" offset is when the centre of the wheel is in-line with the centre of the mounting. Pushing the wheel "out" from the centre line i.e. when you add spacers, is "positive" offset and conversely, when you push "inside" the centre line it is negative offset.

However, as always I'm ready to be proved wrong!

A quick google and....
