Title: Wheel question.
Post by: ted_one on 25 October 2013, 17:49:24

I could do with a bit help from our resident wheel and tyre guru's,I'm looking at a couple of sets of wheels on egay,and one set has come off a 99' 2.0 ltr estate with 16'' wheels quoted with a rim width of 8.75J. This seems a bit wide? and if correct will they fit my 2000 3.0ltr MV6. Will be grateful for any advice :y :yw

Depends on the offset as much as anything :-\ iirc stock 16"s are 6.5j, ET 35 :y

They are Omega wheels but not sure wether the details given are correct and wether they are suitable for the MV6 performance level. Unfortunately my knowledge of wheels stops at them being round and fixed one to each corner :-\ ::)

...... and whether they are suitable for the MV6 performance level.  ......

An MV6 is as fast/slow as any other (V6) Omega   ::)  ::)  ::) It might go round corners better/faster due to stiffer suspension  ;)

Agreed...but just need to bottom out wether these wheels are the right ones before I part with my hard earned buying them and refurbing/new tyres etc :-\

If standard Omega wheels, then no problems at all :y

Thanks for the link Mark,I know you showed me how to do it at the Red Baron's post christmas meet but I think the alcohol got in the way :o ;)

Post by: symes on 25 October 2013, 20:54:49

you better off getting 17" wheels--tyres are cheaper than for 16"s

Title: Re: Wheel question.
Post by: dbug on 25 October 2013, 20:56:32

Think they're standard 6.5J - ie 6½" wide.  Certainly tyre width of 225mm is compatible with 6.5Js ;)

As such should fit your Omega ok :y

Description is wrong.

This is more likely.

I tend to imagine stuff when I'm pi**ed i.e size of willy etc ::) and I think Chris you are right about the description and that's why without the knowledge I posted the query,so thanks once again :y

Post by: ted_one on 25 October 2013, 21:30:51

Thanks symes for the heads up on the tyre size issue,if I can find 17'' wheels in a similar style then I'll go for them,but I have had no luck to date :y

Title: Re: Wheel question.
Post by: 05omegav6 on 25 October 2013, 21:35:32

As suspected and confirmed wheels are stick cdx 6.5j x16, tyres will be 225/55/16, same as 3.2 plod :y
