The last one or the fourth ones.. they looked the best. Also more spokes = uglier it gets. IMO though.. also I couldnt give you an example using photoshop because the angle of the pics of rims and also your car. AND for some gay reason my photoshop didnt feel like working.

I like the fourth set down. The gunmetal color would look hot with the black you're planning on...

I don't see it causing any problems, but why do you want a taller, thinner, tire?

i dont, problem is i only need the rim but i donno if i can afford 2 diss mount and a remount, i hit a curb at about 35mph and bent one of my rims a lil bit, so i went to the junk yard and got a new one, but the tire is diffrent from what im running, mybent rim is ok for now its not leaking air or anything but was wondering if i should go for the 2 dismounts and re mount?

Didn't you say earlier that you wrecked one of your tires? I'm confused on the two dismount remount thing.

Whatever you do, you'll want to use the same size tire on either side.

i damaged 2 tires and a rim, i got 2 new tires but the rim i just got is good but has a diffrent tire on it

a rim from a 93 cav (the stock steel shit) should fit a 96 cav right? should be the exact same rim, im not 100% sure because the bodys changed and the rims might have changed a lil bit to.

2 dismounts and a remount

good tire bad rim

bad tire good rim (junk yard rim (has about 50% less thread on it))

dismount the 2 tires and remount the good rim with the good tire.

Ah, you got two new tires, now it's all coming together for me.

I don't know if the rims are the same, I'm sure the bolt pattern is, but the the height, or width could be different (I really doubt it). I call up a tire shop (Firestone, Tires Plus, or whatever you have around those parts you're from), check into the cost of mounting and balancing the tires, and ask whether or not the rims are the same. Being that they sell rims, they gotta know.

ct91rs · 09-14-2005, 11:08 AM

Oh ya, I forgot to say that I'd definately put on the new tires. Being a front wheel drive car, and with winter looming, if you would like to start avoiding curbs, it would certainly be beneficial to have "really sweet" traction.
