Gentlemen What is the standard size Tyre for the 15" Wheels. I'm planning to get Kumhos when the tyres should be replaced. Had them on the Hilux - no problems.
Regards Stephen

Something as thin as possible. I am running 195s on mine. They look great.

Charles, thank you for the info. All the rims I have is Lada rims. Some still nicely painted and some rusted (9 in total). All the tires but one is finished. So, I think I have to go with the Pro Whites and some tires. Ari's pics converted me. Whould these be the right ones?: W15-7.0J-03 www.burquip.co.za/bur/products/view/40

Hi Jaco
It seems like the right ones but before you buy or order check the PCD of the holes, for the Lada it is +- 139 mm

Hi Ari and Charles,
What I get from the price list PDF it looks like 139,7mm (6/105/139.7). I'm not seeing the price and specs of the "W15-7.0J-03". Only "W14-6.0J-04I" and "W15-7.0J-04I". They are both 139,7mm. Maybe better to phone them in the morning.

Hi Stephen Khumo 195s on the sidekick alloy rim is fine BUT the steering is appreciably heavier than with the std Lada 16 rim. Regards Spikes

Hi all,
Just quick reply to some comments above:
To convince - I stopped to convince anybody for anything long, long years ago. It is waste of time and precious knowhow. And nobody listens. Give him/her a chance to discover the new world himself/herself.
To deny all aftermarket parts - wrong. Majority of them are imitations but some are better then the factory ones.
To consider the agents are thinking only how to make money - wrong.
To consider the agents technical advices like talk acrobatics and bullshit - .... no comment.

Hi Ventz
Believe you me I do listen to what you say and in general I agree. As far as Agents only there to make money and talk Bullshit this again refers to one particular agent, who is known to most on the forum. He does talk Bullshit and he cheats his customers where ever he can. If you want more info just PM me.
Ronnie

To quote Mr Malema, maybe we should refer to said agent as a "bloody agent"?

I did find some at Fast Track (spelling? and no website). 5 Stud, 139.7mm PCD, 15", -3 offset; 7J (7") = R265 8J (8") = R290 The person I spoke to was Marie @ (011) 392 5901. P.S. I was in a hurry and did not ask if the prices was VAT Inc. Hope this helps, Jaco

Thanks Jaco. I have those and the offset seems quite bad when looking at the car. The wheels stick out quite a bit. That's the only problem I have with the pro whites.
