Grisezd Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Hey all. I found a company that will make 15in wheels in our 4x140 bolt circle. I can get widths from 5in to crazy wide. I want 15s so I have a better selection of tires, this will be a daily driver and maybe rally-cross toy. I'll run tires as close to the original diameter as possible. Questions: Does anyone see a problem fitting 6 or 7 in wide wheels in the stock fender wells? What offset should I go with? It looks like there's not much room to bring the extra rim width inwards!

Leeroy Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Offset I am not sure about but I ran 15×6 Peugeot rims on my 1978 wagon without issue. With the correct size tyres they fit within the guards too. 15×7 would need carefull measuring to get the offset right but should be possible.

Brett! Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I have 7" wide wheels on mine, but its all about the backspacing. Get that wrong and your going to have problems. I am running these wheels on my BRAT. They are: 15x7" US Wheel 70-5760P http://www.summitrac...ts/usw-70-5760p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grisezd Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hey Leeroy, what model Peugeot wheels did you use? 505? I'm seeing a lot of those in a search of salvage yards. I didn't know you could get them in a 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1000 Pistes Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 If I remember well the Peugeot 504 was equipped with 14' rims(Dunlop style) and the 505 with 15'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Hey Leeroy, what model Peugeot wheels did you use? 505? I'm seeing a lot of those in a search of salvage yards. I didn't know you could get them in a 15. Yes 505, just make sure they're the 15 inch versions and not the TRX 390mm metric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisezd Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks. I'd forgotten all about TRX until I started looking at Pug wheels! I wonder if there's a tire available anywhere for those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett! Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 what junk yard search are you using? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisezd Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'm using car-part.com. I've never made a purchase using it but a few friends swear by it. Turns our that Coker tire has Michelins in TRX sizes at about $400 per tire for the vintage Ferrari crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grisezd Posted April 4, 2015 Author Share Posted April 4, 2015 Well, I tried car-part.com. I made a lot of calls and emails on listed parts with no luck. Who knows how up to date the listings are. And after looking into Subarutex's wheels I learned that I can't use anything over 4.5in back spacing. I'm going to stick with my 13's until I'm ready to shell out for custom.
