What sizes of wheels were fitted to Cavaliers?
Did they ever fit a 13"?
Re: What sizes of wheels were fitted to Cavaliers?
I believe pre-facelift 1.4 & 1.6's ran 13" wheels with 165 or 175 tyre's

my 16sv prefacelift auto L has the 13" steelies and flat wheel trims. 165/80s iirc. lovely povertyness.

16SV and 14NV had 13".
They're a terrible wheel for such a large car and they buckle as soon as you hit a cat's eye!

No they don't , A 17 size rim has more chance of buckling due to the low profile that why I stuck to 15's slabsBen_L wrote:16SV and 14NV had 13".

^agreed, low profile tyres on large rims are far more susceptible to damage and buckling.bigmitch wrote: No they don't , A 17 size rim has more chance of buckling due to the low profile that why I stuck to 15's slabs

The 13's I removed from my Hatch were completely knackered and twisted and just generally rubbish. The 15" Astra wheels I have now are so much better, with no wheel wobble.planetc wrote:^agreed, low profile tyres on large rims are far more susceptible to damage and buckling.bigmitch wrote: No they don't , A 17 size rim has more chance of buckling due to the low profile that why I stuck to 15's slabs
