May 23, 200619 yr Does anyone around here know what the lug design (aside from 5-lug, I know that) and measurements of the Mk 1 Clouds is compared with that of the Mk 2 LH's and Mk 3 minivans? Supposing I get the money and (want to spend it on such a thing) decide an upgrade to the wheels/tires of my Breeze, I was wondering if Chrysler's "Genesis II" aluminum wheels would fit the Breeze. These wheels were used on some SE Intrepids, and Sport, LE, ES, ES AWD (1999-2000 ES) minivans. I especially like their appearance, and they are 16" in diameter, so they aren't anything outrageously big. What they look like: And look slightly similar to:

May 23, 200619 yr Author You know, I've been there, but navigating that site confuses me. Either I'm very used to C&G's set-up, or its much better. Nothing like double checking though!
May 23, 200619 yr Stock Wheel/Tire Sizes: * 14 x ? in., P195/70 R14 * 15 x 6 in., P195/65 R15 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Wheel Sizes: Diameter: 14" - 18" should fit with no trouble. (Some 14" wheels may not clear the brake calipers.) * 19" takes a little work. * 20" requires serious work, although it has been done by at least 2 members. Width: 6" - 7.5" should be OK. * 7" is generally a better choice than 7.5", but many people are running 7.5" with no trouble at all. Lug Pattern: 5 x 100 mm Wheel Offset: + 38-42 mm should fit fine. Anything else may not. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tire Size - What the numbers mean: P 195 / 70 R 14 P - Passenger Car Tire 195 - Tread Width (in mm) 70 - Sidewall Height (% of Tire Width) R - Radial Tire 14 - Wheel diameter Helpful tips from jhrody about changing your tire size: QUOTE when you change youre tire size, dont forget to take into effect your speedometer readings, as they will be affected by a change in tire diameter.... Also your ABS, traction control and engine management systems can be affected as well...Generally you can stay within plus or minus 10% in diameter to keep from affecting these systems. Another point is that a smaller overall diamter tire will give you better acceleration off the line, but a lower top speed and higher revs on the highway. To calculate the 'right' size tire for your aftermarket wheels, use the Miata Tire Calculator. Tire Sizes for 17" Wheels: * 205/50 R17 [speedo 0.01% fast] * 215/45 R17 [speedo 0.53% fast] * 225/45 R17 [speedo 0.9% slow] It sounds like 215 mm is the best maximum tire width for a cloud car. Anything larger may rub. http://www.stratusphere.net/forums/Tires_Suspension-f43.html
May 23, 200619 yr Author Thank you. Indeed, there is not much room side-to-side under the fenders of the Mk 1 Clouds. Right now, my speedometer is a few mph behind actual speed running on 14's.
