Hi guys,


I just bought a 1990 Le Baron ES Turbo Coupe - one owner - only 20k miles - like new condition - I just changes timing belt, plugs, oils etc and now its rooad ready - I am thinking about putting some nice rims on it. Can anybody give me some ideas rim/tire combnations that work and fit and look good. I attached some fotos.



best from Berlin

This looks like a Dodge Shadow to me.

ignoring the un helpful posts above that dont answer your questions.....


I am a big fan of Crab wheels and pumpers.

But i recently picked up a set of Kosei K6R's locally with new tires..
and they look pretty good as well.

^Congratulations on yur project.. it's beautiful !! Really Clean !!

I'm guessing from your post that this is not a US market car.
In US that car was sold as a Dodge Shadow ES,
so keep that in mind when looking for technical advice or parts..

Welcome!!

Very nice ride.

The one in the attached picture has the previously mentioned "Crab Wheels,"
also my favorite factory wheel.

The bolt circle is 5 on 100 mm so while factory Chrysler wheels may not be common in Berlin it is common with many other FWD cars.


Thanks
Randy

Great! Thx for the advise. If I want to purchase some rims here I understand that the bolt pattern is 5x100 - whats the offset and backspace I need to know? What tire size can I run on it?

Drove it today first time after passing inspection - It is a fast little thing I have to say. Did not expect it to go that good really


Thanks!!

For example - would those fit? And if yes what tires dimensions could I run?

The Kosei I really like too - can you tell me the exact dimesnions rims and tires I could run with thos KR6?
