Default countach wheel question

Hi,

curious if anyone knows if early diablo wheels will fit correctly on an 86 countach. they are a lot easier to buy tires for it seems.

thanks,
john

Default Countach tyres

John, how many tyres do you want for your Countach? Do you want just rear or front and rear?
I specialize in the Countach car, parts and whatever you need.

Default LM002 tyres

Abunawafff, is that the 18,19 or the 20 inch tyre?
I most likely can help you, but need to know size.

The Diablo wheels have a diffrent offset than the Countach wheels, i think its not posible.
I got 17" customrims on my Countach.
For the Countach is 17" enough, 18" and more are too big..

mr lambo do u have more pictures that looks nice i know u said 17 is perfect i like big wheels. i eventually want to get a set of 20s under the rear its just my taste ive messured a set of 20" under the car it looked awesome but it was real close to fender flares. but picking the manafacturer of rims has been the problem i live in canada so i have to head to the states.

Look at the difference between 17" and 18"

I think 17" looks much better....

i agree the 17s look like they fit the car better and the 18s look to big. but i have a anniversary car so i think i might be able to get away with it. the anniversary car looks bigger becuase of skirts.the set of 20 inch pirelli tires are really huge i think they are a liitle over a inch taller than the 18 inch rear from diablo so it will be tight if possible at all with out fooling with flares. the bad part is ive never been able to leave things the way they are. i like the way the japanese customised all those 25th anniversary cars on that japanese lamborghini club site with the bigger wheels. and your car looks cool..
