Hi guys/girls,
Id like to say hi, Im a longtime viewer and finally registered so I could post here and gain some advice.
I own a 1988 Saab 9000 turbo, and am really keen to stance it, but am having a hard time finding any advice or knowledge on wheel sizing and recommendations.
Can someone here point me in the right direction?
I have ordered a set of standard 15" or 16" ? saab 'chasers' or standard wheels from my local Saab guys here in Melbourne, and going by what I have read so far online, I cancut the centres out and flip them to get the concave look going on, and get them widened for a reasonable cost of around $200AUD per wheel.
But I am not sure what size to get them widened to, or what tires would be best stretched over them.
I currently have a set of 17"x7 chrome rims on my car, and there is minimal room on the inside of the wheel before the break calipers/suspension? and I am not wanting my new wheels to rub on these. The guards on my car are already flared, and I dont think I would need to do much if at all in terms of rolling the guards to fit the 'poke' on the outside, but I am concerned by the wider wheels causing me rubbing problems and was after any advice from someone here who has a 9000 or has stanced one.
I hope you people can point me in the right direction!
Heres the car:
