Hello everyone , it is getting close to wheel time here on the fiberglass buggy ( Sand rover) it came with nice rims and we most likely would like to paint them to match buggy and put beauty ring with the moons that came with it.
the front are 14" 5.5 and the rears are 15" 8s I think, as it is hard to messure with the tires on.
Here is my question I would like to go with somewhat wide, lower profile
( but not low like the kids do now a days with 1" of side wall)
more like when tires were rated 50s 60s 70s
can anyone give us pointers of what not to go with vs what would look good and still drive good..
thanks |

2 tone steel wheels Always look better than 1 color!
I don't like any tires less than 60 series sidewall.
