what wheel size do you guys prefer?

13

This is too vague a question for general discussion. If for a truck say so if for a car say that also. There are big differences here so perhaps the model like 810 or B-210. Surely all 3 are preferred by someone on some car, it would be nice to know which ones and why..... probably covered here

 

Also put 'RIMS' in the title so viewers don't have to open it up to see WTF it's about.

I prefer 13yr olds

 

Oh, this is about rims.... 14inch rims for my 510 but tire selection blows.

Noted for our records. Used for profiling purposes. Boys? girls? Other?

[jser12]

Whichever will get in my datsun. I'm not picky haha

[MicroMachinery]

For a classic Datsun car, 13's or 14's. For a classic Datsun pickup, 14's or 15's.

It's not the height that matters, it's the width

 

 

For real though. I'd prefer a 14x10 over a 15x8 any day, tires for 14's aren't necessarily a problem unless you're looking for a wide track tire, if you don't mind stretching a street tire it's no biggie. 

 

Offset should also be taken into consideration

They're wheels, not rims. 

 

These are rims:

I vomited in my mouth a little when I saw that.  Stupid donks.  I call them rims.  And 15" is right for Datsun cars, 16" for Datsun trucks, if 4x4.  That's MY opinion!! :D

[jalen]

13x6 with OG raised white letter tires!

Rims are what the tires go on, tires are.... tires. Rims with tires on them are wheels.

Depends on the brakes and gear ratios too imho. 13's with my set up would have me doing like 4000rpm at 65mph lol. They also wouldnt clear my front Or rear brakes... I prefer a wide wheel too but unless they clear the brakes its pointless. 

Ascetically speaking they say you should be able to stack 2 of the wheels with tires and end up at the roof of the car.

at least 16s, i dont like a tall sidewall, nor a lot of fender gap. so best option for me is to fill up the space with more metal as opposed

to more rubber. as well as those little tires have fewer size selections... which is why im going from 16s to 17s on my truck... because even

16s dont have that much tire selection (i like wide tread, lower profile.)

[maltese]

I like the 15's on my Z. It depends on the ride height, too. Also, weight should play a role in tire+rim=wheel choices.

 

My $0.02.

It's a preference thing.  I run stock diameter on everything except my 4X4.  At MOST I would step up one inch.  I abhor rubber band tires; it's enough having your teeth rattle around from the rough roads but constantly bent wheels from the potholes is too much.  I like as much rubber between the road and wheel as I can find, but finding 80-series tires is getting difficult.

 

Now, I do have 60-series on the front of my KC, but it's my one and only slightly lowered truck.  It's not done for looks.

[Duncan]

22's.

 

 

what wheel size do you guys prefer?

[john510]

On a 510 or 610 no bigger than 15".I like the 13 or 14 better but you cant find good tires for the smaller rims.I was forced to go to 15" so i could put better tires on.

[Komeuppance]

If there's grass on the field play ball.

I like whatever looks best on the vehicle.....

 

I like the raised white letter look w/13s.....but then the 17s on a 620 are sick....

 

I run 15s w/50 series......that looks good also....

 

 

 

......You can't make me chooose!!!!! :hyper:

 

 

 

If it's for race app..........it's whatever makes me go fast....

[ktm]

It depends on the car.  For S30's the minimum is 14's (stock diameter) but 16's are preferred for tire selection. Anything more and you are running into low profile tires and it just does not look "right".

[Ranman72]

I like em all for my F350 20,s for my 510 15,s for my 1200 14 or 15,s for my roadster 14 or 15,s 

for ass hats 26 plus
