Speed 6 alloy wheel size
Discussion
Hi all hope someone can help with some info.
Looking to replace my current 18" alloys but still haven't made a final decision on what to go with.
As a starting point I'm trying to find at least the correct wheel size front and back and off set as not even sure if the current wheels are correct. The current tyres are 225/35R18 at the front and 255/35R18 at the rear.
Don't want to just look at what's currently on as it could be wrong so really would like to know what should be fitted.
So looking for wheel size, and off set if anyone can help and I take it the 5 stud pattern is 5 x114 ?
Cheers,
Pete

Christmas shopping? I have been looking around as time permits but the correct sizes are hard to find. For ideal and guaranteed fitment you need ACT Performance Products SP12 wheel, based on the Team Dynamics ProRace 1.3, providing you like the 12 spoke aesthetic. Your 5 x 114 is correct, the fronts should be 8 inches wide ET 35, and the rears ideally 9 inches wide, ET minimum of 37. Due to the possibility of expensive mistakes you might want to take your car to a geometry specialist first for checking clearances, as each car can vary, and factors like ride height come into play. Or if you want more predictable handling, the 17 inch RL7's have been recommended elsewhere on this forum. Good luck, don't forget to post a photo when you are running on new wheels!

Will do thanks for the info. Starting to think a set of 17" might be the better option as everyone I've spoken to have said the Cerbera drives so much better on the smaller rim with a 40 profile tyre on.
Wow - what the hell is this:PH Team said:
