Forum: 3D - Wheels and Tires

I'm looking at 14" alloy wheels from a 1991 jetta for my 1971 kadett. The bolt pattern is 4x100 but i'm not sure of the offset. Can anyone tell me if these will fit? Will i have clearance or fender issues to deal with? I'd like to upgrade to 14" because there are more tire options available that...

I bought some chromed 15x7 4-bolt rims a while back for my 73' GT.. and now after learning a bit more, I'm concerned about 1. The rims sticking out the sides too far, and 2. Not being able to turn as sharp and possibly some rubbing on the wheel well? Both my fronts and rears are 15x7. Please, any...

I saw these Rota Minilite copies on Ebay: eBay Motors: JDM Rota RB 13x8 Panasport Rewind Miata 4x100 Wheels (item 300091236779 end time Mar-20-07 21:47:07 PDT) They have 13 x 8 (ET +4mm), 15 x 7 (ET +30mm), and 15 x 8 (ET +35mm). The 13 x 8 wheels have an ET of +4mm. Prices aren't too...

Hi guys. I am on the lookout for a new set of rims for my GT, to replace the not so classic looking 15" that are on it right now. I have dabbled a little in photoshop, just to give you an idea of what I am looking for. Ideally, I would want a set of american racing torq thrust rims, but I...

Hi everyone, Looking to buy ATS Classic wheels. Do they have same hole spacing as say Volkswagen ?

I was thinking about putting a set of restored stock 1975 rims on my GT but realized when I compared them to a rusty GT rim that the 1975 stock rims have 3/4" more back space then the stock GT rim. Questions 1) Won't I be narrowing the width of my tire track by 1 1/2 inches therefore make...

I just realized I don´t know what size thread it is on my GT´s wheel studs. I don´t have a guage so.... Anybody know? Thanks Stefan

What would happen if I put wide tires on my 69 Opel gt.:confused: would it gain or lose traction? That might take out the sporty look out of it!:eek: Should I or should I not???:banghead: spell check is not loading!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone know what maximum size tire I can put on the rear of the GT using stock rims?

While surfing on eBay the other day, I found these wheels for sale: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=019&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=290043169435&rd=1&rd=1 The vendor info is at http://stores.ebay.com/JLB-Motorsports for when the eBay listing expires....

I finally got around to getting new wheels and tires for my GT :veryhappy I got a set of MB Vision wheels from Discount Tires. The wheels are 4x100, 15x7 ET20. Should fit perfectly. For anyone interested, this particular wheel was recently discontinued but there are still some in stores...

The current rims on the car are 13". They have no 'clips' for the centre cap. I am looking for a set that will accept the OPEL centre cap and the beauty ring. Can one locate aftermarket rims that the OPEL centre cap will clip on to or will I have to buy original rims?

I have been told that the wheels I have are rare wheels, and are worth money. Is that true? If so, how much are they worth? These are my wheels. http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img1424vc0.jpg

Probably a silly question, but does anyone put whiteside wall tires on anymore. My '73 GT came with them on and I need new ones .. and I haven't seen an Opel since I bought this one. Thanks, David

I'm interested in getting more info about and perhaps purchasing what I would describe as slot type mag wheels that many Opel GT owners put on their cars soon after taking delivery. I'm not sure these wheels were offered as a dealer option. I remember reading somewhere that the original...

I recently bought a '73 GT and would like to repaint the wheels. The black was easy to pick but the silver/gray wasn't so easy. Color and maybe a source? Thanks.. David
