Reply to "Starting my Build"

Thanks guys!

Off topic a little. Since brakes are the first pile of parts I’m working on buying, i have been researching wheels, lug patterns, tire size availability etc before I buy discs and drums. I found an old CMC ad that says front tire size should be 205/55R15 and rear should be 235/60R15, all wrapped on those oh-so-hip 15” gold wheels.

Tire availability seems very limited in 15” these days, and the aftermarket wheels for a VW 4x130 pattern are also fairly limited (you know, in case I want to get rid of the gold rims!).

I was looking at ordering the discs and drums in the dual 5x4.5/5x4.75 pattern. I researched this and those 2 patterns were used by the Big Three, plus Honda, Mitsubishi, Acura and several others. That means ALOT of choices of wheels.

From what I read I see lots of guys have the 16” Porsche rims, and there are lots of tire choices in 16”, no mater what rim I choose.

Thoughts?
