Starlet wheels

[Ruddock984]

I have a standard starlet ep91 (no turbo) and was looking to put a set of alloy wheels on it. I found a set of 4x100 and 7inch wide. My question is, is 7 inch too wide that it will stick out the side

Stock wheels for the turbo models are generally 5.5 wide with an offset of ET38. They can accommodate 6.5 and 7 wide 15's although the EP82 seems very picky about the offset. If you choose a lower offset the drivers side wheel arch generally catches or scrubs on the tyre wall. The EP91 seems a bit more forgiving although given the variables nothing is gospel.

Going on previous experience I'd advise a test-fit as part of the purchase if possible. Her being an EP91 it should be grand but it's hard to be 100%.

I reckon that'll push them too far out mate, You may have clearance issues with the arches depending on the tyres.
