Hae Guys,
Looking for a set of good Tyres and Rims for my Avenger Van, wanting a type of rim thats completely different to others on avengers but that will suit ''Maggie''.
Anything with a 4x108 pattern, or extremly close to 4x108 pattern, As do not want to flare the guards and am trying to keep it as original as possible! Let me know if you have any ideas with size/width of tyres as well as Rims/mags.
Cheers Mikey.
I will be selling my tridents shortly (see picture of them in the header)
They have near new 185/70/R13 Goodyear GT3, which is really good rubber. The rims are 13x6" and they fit under the guards without rubbing.
Your wagon would look nice lowered on Richards tridents, With some narrow band whitewall tyres maybe??? Ive got Tridents & whitewalls on my triumph and they look awesome.
Tridents aren't really different, though. Apart from tha you can't really go wrong with them.
What about a nice set of Rostyles? They did come standard on some GTs and upper model Avengers, though maybe not in NZ? Unsure. They aren't really all that common though, and definitely would be pretty cool/different on the estate.

Especially if you can find some deep dish ones like on this Opel:

Those deep dish rostyles are lush! But you;d probly have to get a standard set and send them away to be widened.
If they came out looking that good it would be worth it.
Sweet ,Cheers fellas, keep the ideas coming!, I have to admit i do love Keira's pair of Rims, which are completely different and very cool!
Oh Sweet as Richard,Mmay i ask how much you would be looking to sell them for?? Could be interested.
Heres a pair of Modgies, powder coated black, which i am quiet keen on, but not sure if you would have to flare the guards or not?? As these i think would suit my Avenger Van, and make it look pretty sweeet.
They are, 13 by 7's , and have 2 205/60r13's. I Sound picky hahah , but am not to keen on lowering her ae, as im trying to keep her as original as possible!

Take a look, see what you think.
Cheers Mikey.
I am going for the 15" black D window steelie which look a lot like those modgies.
I run 13x7 hotwires with 205/60r13's on my races car and I had to flare my guards.
Here is a shot of them on my race car

Ahh i see, Sweet As, that ideas now gone!! hahaha
If you want to sell your tridents just message me, and we can talk more about pricing.
Cheers MIkey.
185 is prob the widest you can go.
also i reckon you can lower 30mm [only size they come off the shelf] without ruining the stock look. my old 76 was that low but it needed to be even lower. as contrast i want to drop my super 2″.
185 at the most i'd say, i was scared of putting 165's on hahahaha.

I agree. I have 185 on the 6 inch tridents I will be selling and they fit really well.
Here are some shots of my Avenger with the 185's on.

is your car lowered at all, rich?
here's another photo

prob ruined my own point, here, i don't remember it being so low at the front. think its just the angle and terrible photo [who misses film cameras?] but that should give you an idea, mikey, of what tridents look like with a bit of tweeking of the ride height. the effect with stock paint would be less mental.
Yeah it is. It looks really high in that photo. This photo shows it's ride height better.
Front tyre sits about level with the top of the arch and rear arch overlaps the tyre by an inch or two.

Here is another option from palmside.

Blekkja are you meaning i should lower my van 30mm?? But doesnt that mean if i lower Maggie the tridents would'nt sit correctly as only just miss the guards already??
Im loving those slick Tridents Richie! Would you happen to still have the original centre caps too??
But I am also liking the 13x6 classic road rims, as are pretty sweet. Do they have descent dish on them??
Have you lowered your Avenger at all Richard??
Cheers Mikey.
Yeah my Avenger is lowered. I would say it is close to how Blekkja's Avenger sits at the back if I took a photo from the same angle.
No I don't have the center caps but you can buy them from any decent mag shop for dirt cheap.
the 13x6 classic road rims look like they have a little less dish that the Tridents but it is hard to say without seeing them in person.
I do like the look of those rims. I was thinking about maybe getting a 5 spoke set instead of my steel Nascar rims. I think the Nascar rims will look badass but I don't know if they will look too plain and bland being all black.
The 15x7 and 15x8 set would run about the same cost as my steel rims. Both about $1200 for a full set.
185s should be fine no matter how low you go. even with 4 people in the back. or if you take out the springs completely.
For a more "stock" look:

Would sell for $250~
I actually really like your old rims Nikolai. I haven't seen them before and I think they look sweet.
Yeah it's just the dark-alloy... I really really don't like it! I like nice shiny alloy wheels (but not chromed as!)
Probably you could easily respray the deep parts in black and chrome the rest but I can't really be bothered. Although if they don't end up selling (not that I'm trying too hard) then I might end up doing just that to them anyway.
Sweet As, no worries.
I will take that into consideration, cheers.
How much MM have your dropped your Avenger to sit as it sits now?? Did you buy new shock absorbers and springs to get your Avenger running at the height that its running at now?
Oh Cheah, Cheah, Mean as, yeah im looking for some dish ae!!!
I think the nascar rims are mean as quiet plane, but look mint as, and make it look tough!! not this try hard gangsta stuff, ''you know what i mean'' everybody has chrome rims. All black would suit the blue and make it look real clean and smooth!!
ahh i see!! So your wanting around a grand for the tridents??
Cheers Mikey.

Yeah that's what I think. Hopefully it will look tough as

Hell no. Nowhere near that much. With the near new Goodyear GT3 tyres maybe $600 Ono.
The tyres alone were around $125 each and they have done a few thousand miles. Still 7mm+ tread.
to all those individual ones!! hahaha
Ahh i see, so are you running cut springs?? arent they illegal??
hahah Hell yeah, no doubt it will!!
haha yeah sounds like a plan to me, youre getting me more and more interested, hahaha :)
hahah, Sweeeeet AS!!
Cheers Mikey.
90% of people here will be running cuts lol its legal if thyre captive and if ur WOF guy doesnt care :P. got modgies for sale
As for Kiera selling these modgies,
As they have the same stud pattern, but dont know the offset yet?
and as are 13x7's
Richard, you have seen my Van, Do you think Keira's modgies sitting with stretched tyres, if correct offset, would suit and sit nicely on my van, without having to flare the guards??
What do you think fellas??
Cheers Mikey.
you would not have to flare the guards if they are the correct offset lol
ill put pics up of my car with them on the weekend
