Stag wheels

[surreyone]

The wheels look great. I am thinking about moving up to 15" but which way to go 15 x 51/2 or 15 x 6 for 195/65 any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks

195/65's on 15 x 5.5 rims tend to be the popular choice

It says on their website that they make their own wheels, but I doubt they make all that they sell.

If you go to 195/60 R15 you've got almost exactly the same diameter at 185/70 R14 good for speedo accuracy.
I've changed diff ratio to 3.45:1 to allow for 195/70 R14 tyres so 205/60 R15 might be the answer.

I've got 3,7 diff and 195/70/14 tyres and the speedo is spot on.

It should be out by about 4% as the overall diameter will be different but given the accuracy of speedos of the period tyre size may be offsetting speedo error.

I only read that they invested in the manufacture of their own wheels - which, in business speak, probably means they pay money to someone else to do them. Anyway, what the hell, they look good and the price is right. It would be interesting to see what approvals may be available for us poor folk who need certificates and the like to fit different wheels....

Orderd some 5.5J wheels this morning and hopefully I will be running around with them on my newly restored Stag,that will also have a ZF and TBI,in the spring.

Thanks to everyone for the leads and advise

These wheels out of the US look like an alternate. Not for UK buyers!
