Wheels for a '94 Pathy

[BobLoblaw]

My "significant other" has our '94 Pathy right now so I gotta ask a couple mind-numb 'rs. Bear with me.

 

 

-What size are stock Pathy (94) steel wheels. Mine are the chrome ones. My memory says P215/75 R15 but I'm not 100%.

 

-Can someone point me in the direction of some good wheels/rims for 94 pathy's. My knowledge of aftermarket rims is minimal at best. I just want some decent looking rims that won't rust.

 

 

-What size(s) of tires will work with my existing OEM rims? Obviously they must fit the rim size (which I thought was 15"), but what about width/aspect ratio?

 

Thanks in advance

On your stock rims, without knowing which type of stock rims they are, I can safely say you can run up to a 31x10.5" R15 on them.

 

For rims, you're looking for anything with 6 on 5.5" bolt pattern, with at least a 100mm bore in the center (to fit over the hubs)

 

3.75-4" backspacing is best, and if you're looking to run 31's, or possibly larger in the future, look for a 7-8" wide rim.

Actually, the tires are P235/75 R15. I tired to upload a pic of my rims but it wouldn't let me! Here's the same rim I have off the net:

 

 

 

What are some "cool" tires that will fit on these? Cool as in, kinda aggressive looking. Also, If I decide to paint my rims, is there a special rim paint I should use?

You can go up to a 31x10.5 r15 on those. For on/offroad use, the BFG AT KO's are a popular, and good choice. Nice look to them as well.

I was looking at these rims. I know they aren't Alum/alloy but they look nice.

Would I have to buy 2 of one kind and 2 of the other (for front and back)?

You would want all 4 to be the same, and the first link is the ones you would want. I have the same ones and I like them. I see you are in Canada also, expect to pay pretty close to $400 (shipping, customs) even though they are so cheap looking online. I got an american racing wheel locally for my spare in the same design for the price that the wheels from summit ended up costing, shop around a bit at local tire shops.

Yep...a 15x10 is WAY too wide, unless you're going to run a 13+ width tire.
