small wheels

[Doris]

Along with suspension, I\'m also looking to upgrade the wheels on the Ace,

Its a 4x100, with 12xSkinny\'s

Where should I be looking for small, wide wheels, at reasonable prices.

If i go to 14\'s, the overall diameter is so much that I will have little acceleration.. not good for Gymkhana.

13x8 has a nice ring to it...

Only issue going wider is rear guards, my ace i went a bit wider (145 r12 to 165 40 r12) when i replaced the tyres and only just cleared by about 2mm

Ahh yes I borrowed a guard roller and pumped the living shit out of the guards..

That\'s about the only way to do it, my ace was awesome, was a piddly 2 cylinder one but with a 10k rev limit it absolutely flew. Awesome fun but just wore out unfortunately. Now on the hunt for a sambar.

I found some 13x5.5 +40 alloys in the shed, bu they\'re just too skinny and will look lame as well unless I ran a ridiculous spacer

I had a jam on willthey fit.com and I have decided the best wheel and Tyre combo would be 13x7-10 205/30 for plenty of grip an increase in accleration, as well as decrease ride height..40mm!

I think I\'ll put some really skinny, low profile hard compound tyres on the 13x5.5\'s and use them as rears for gymkhana, something like a 135/45 would be nice and slippery

I have no idea where I would find tyres like that.

Try wheels from Alfas and Fiats. They have a 4x98 fitment, and back when I had my Fiats, we used to use wobble bolts to fit 4x100 rims So im sure the opposite could be done.

If your looking for wider, I\'d look at optional rims off an X19. You can get them pretty wide side pods, so there should be wheels to suit
