Ok, im in process getting colt back together. I have some oz rally rims(ones from 02-04 lancer) one is balance best they could but still off, some curb damage on it.didnt notice when I first bought. Question, I seen some nice clean rims, even inch widder but there 13x7 baby supra.wheels. I like 15's, would 13x7 be just as good for traction with the 7" tires? thoughts on the 13x7 vs 15x6? Sucks cant switch the brand new z tires.but ill break out evwn parting rims and tires.

What brakes do you have? Stock C52a solid front rotors 238mm will fit 13" rims, stock C53a turbo 266mm rotors means 14" minimum.

My 13x7 ET 0ish Diamond racing wheels fit over the stock turbo brakes with about 1/8-1/4" clearance. I would assume most 13" wheels will not work though, you will have to just test fit and find out. BTW I have some lancer OZ wheels too in very good condition but only got 2 because the dude was selling them for $60 and only had 2 but I took them any ways in case I ever find another short set :rolleyes:

Depends on your 16" wheel specs mikbik. I'm running 16x8 +20 at the moment but I'm also not lowered, they stick out almost an inch.

Im running 16x7.5 +40 or 42. They are nice and flush with no rubbing. Im not lowered
But im sure it would handle a couple inches of lowering.

These look good i would not go 17 ,16s look big.
If i could choose i would also go narrower like 6-7 inch wide.
My 7.5 look really wide ( a little out of proportion)
from the back and might be close to the inside of the body

Do you want to sell a lancer oz rim? :) 02-04? 4x114? I bought a set, they were freshly painted no tires.. didnt realize one was off when i put the tires on and balanced them. Sucks, I sold a mint mint set of rota slipstreams 4x100 to buy those oz ones..

does the wheel and tires stick out of the fender? like those drag rims?

does it touch the suspension or bumper once you make a full turn?

Yes 15's. When I bought them they look all good. They sat for about a year before finally getting colt done. When I had the new tires put on and balanced I noticed one was off, and needs two big weights on the front to balance the best it can.
