Im trying to work out at the moment if my wheels are 5.5" or 6" wide...

The tyres i have on are 165/... does that mean they are 6" or is there a possibility 165's might have fit on 5.5?

Also im looking to get some arches, group 2. If they are 6" would i be best going for the group 2 wides or normal and again if they are 5.5" wide.

Can anyone recommend a place that does good group 2s as i know some people have said they are different wherever you buy from.. :teehee:

If you can post some pics up, then we can identify what size wheels you have.

165/60/12 tyres can fit all size of 12" wheel, from 4.5x12 right to 6x12.

Ah youve helped me with out actually getting to the bottom of my first query...
basically i wanted new wheels... but all my tyres are new so was going to buy the alloys and use my current tyres...

The new alloys are 5.5" wide... so will the 165's be fine on them even if they are on 6" now?
