Wheel Change Advice

Not sure if this is the right style wheel you may be looking for, but I would trade if your interested.

Wheels are in great shape tires need replacing

I don't think Hall ever produced anything larger than 17". The person who will know is Tara or Bev at Hall Panteras.

Its more normal to see 12" wheels in the back of a narrow bodied car with the 18" wheels. I can't say if there is a fitment issue with a 13" wide wheel in the 18" diameter. The issue is the rear wheels come close to rubbing the lower control arm. This limits 17" wheels to about 11" in width.

The outer edge of the wheel remains in the same place regardless of the width of the wheel. This is to align the outer edge of the tire so that it is as far out from under the wheel well as possible without rubbing the fender lip. So any increase in width of the wheel is all towards the center of the car.

I've been looking for a used set. I also have some wheels (with knock-offs) for sale:

Here's the wheels on the car. Knock-offs are decorative...non-functional:

I still have them but I am thinking of putting them back on the car this summer.

UPDATE: The wheels and tires were put in service May 2006 on # 3463. The useage mileage is @ 1000 prox. Perfect Condition. See this post for exact brand and sizes. The entire set cost $ 3300 new. I want brand new wheels and tires so no trades please. I am in no rush and still deciding on what to do. Offers around the low $ 2000 range will be considered. Thanks to all who have PM'd me. Pics to anyone interested or see # 3463 "Here in West Hills" post 12/18/06 in the photo gallery forum.

Thanks, Dave

p.s. Has anyone mounted 18 x 12's on a stock body-suspension car? Still looking for more advice/info/pics.

Everyone knows I think the rims are moving in the wrong direction . I think they just make the cars look like the rims came from Autozone, or worse:

At least at some point you won't need air in the tires!:

I have the 18X11 rear wheels on my stock body car. I will have to check to see if there is clearance to go inboard more as the tire is already out the edge of the body. I suspect if the lower a arm is not in the way the muffler will be. I think the wider rear rims the vendor offers are only for group 4 style cars with the wrong offset for your car.

Mark, I would be interested in knowing what the offset of your rims are if you happen to know.- Jim Coyne
