13inch wheels

Postby johnny g » Tue Jun 04, 2013 1:45 am

Has anyone seen any 5 bolt 13 inch wheels for an 86 aries? I'm trying to keep the car as original as it came and it came with 5 bolt 13 in wheels. 4 bolts are no problem to find, but I'm striking out with those 5 bolts. Any ideas?

unless you are putting that car in a concours event where they scrutinize every item, just go with the 14" wheels and hubcaps that are correct for your year/model. and put the HD option front brakes on there since they will fit under the 14's. i just swapped the original 14's on my 97 camry for some 15" steelies with 60 series rubber instead of the wobbly 70's. much better control. i will NEVER run a K car with 13's. and even 14's wouldn't be on there for long. i don't go for the oversize wheel - ricer look, but 13's don't belong on our cars. that was the times and Mopar was cheap. at least they went to 5 lug wheels....something the Civic didn't get until a few years ago.
