Jalpa 18" Wheels? - Page 2

One word of caution:
With anything more than the 205/55-16 tires and OEM rims, the front tires can easily interfere with the fender if turning the wheels 20-30 degrees and going into a driveway at an angle, especially if the springs have sagged.

I actually doubt that the red Jalpa in the first picture of post #6 could turn into a driveway with that steering angle without interference.

That to bad, Jalpa's look a lot better in person then in pictures.

Nice shots! I love the white one. Interesting wing/ different look to it. Any history on that car? Wheels seem to fit perfectly.
We will have to figure out the stock tires diameter and buy a larger /taller wheel tire combo to replicate the height so it won't rub I guess.
How do you post pictures...I have a couple shots too.

Thanks for the front stock size Laust.
According to : http://www.americanracing.com/techce...Calculator.htm
205/55/16 the diameter is 24.87 in and 8.07in wide.

What is the stock rear tire size? Wheels size front and rear?

Are those diablo wheels original or kit car knock offs????Hmmmm, They maybe a good source for sizes.
