tires and wheels minilights

[boldtu]

I am thinking of going with the 15" minilight wheels from Ireland Eng

Does anyone have pictures of them set up on a 1 to 2 inch lowered roundie

Did you roll the fenders?

thanks,

Ok, the Minilight "style" wheels from Ireland are a 20mm offset and thus will be a tight fit to the fenders on a NON lowered '02 WITH rolled fender lips. Little chance of them fitting well on a lowered car w/o extensive mods to the fenders.

The ideal offset for 15x7s on '02s are et24 through et28 with et 25 or 26 being ideal. If fenders are rolled well a 15x7 with the correct offsets will fit a 205/50-15 tire. and et28 to et30 has been known to fit a slightly tall but very wide 215/50-15 in the rear.

THESE are real Minilights and available in a 15x6 fitment for an '02.

I will most likely be selling my 14 inch Panasports with about one year old tires. From my '73. Located in Pennsylvania.

How much would you ask for your panasports if you do sell them ?

Thanks, Dudley

I contacted Jeff Ireland and he said that if I used 195x50x15 tires that it should work well if I rolled the fenders. is this bad info? I would hate to buy these wheels and tires and not have them work. but I really like the look of these minilte "style" wheels. thanks for the info

boldtu, why not get the ireland minilites w/ the 25mm offset (instead of the 20mm)? that should fit appropriately.

sounds good, I talked to Blunt and he said that it will fit with some rolling of the fenders. thanks guys.
