Title: Bit of help please
Post by: Snake2f2s on 09 January 2012, 20:17:41

Hi I got a omega 3.0 v6 manual, it's got 5 stud 17" alloys I'm looking to drop it to 15" possibly 14" does anyone no what other wheels would fit??? Don't have to be alloys

 Also is the thermostat standard type or is it on a 3 way valve set up???

No idea why you'd want to, but the spares is a 15" steel rim

Hi, try to find alloys or simple wheels with all these parameters :
diameter and wideness : 15J6 ,
hole size and position on wheel : 5X110 ,
ET number : 33         
Good luck!  :y

Thanks as some has pointed out its being raced on the beach so need to drop the wheel size to get grippy tyres on also will help to keep the revs up with smaller wheels (if it will need any help) seems quite lively on the road
