15" Wheels on an NK?

[duggi]

So, I've been looking for wheels for six months for my 2000.  Not that it's urgent, but 14x5.5 or 14x6 options with a 4x100 bolt pattern is HARD to find.  I've seen plenty of likeable things in 13" and decent options in 15", but 14" wheels that I actually like for the car seem to be impossible to find (I can find photos, just none for sale).

 

Has anyone put 15" wheels on an NK before?  If so, does it work?  Does it look good?  Have any photos?

 

Just trying to see if I can expand my options... Thanks! =)

I would definitely go with 15" on the NK.

Decent 14" alloys sure are hard to find and 15" do look good, much better than on an 02. Paul Hill has 15" minilites on his 2000 in the UK and they look great.

OK, What size tires would be right for a 15" wheel on our cars.

I just bought a set of Rota RBs in silver for my 1800 and I'm wondering what tires others are running.

My best calculation is a 195/60r15.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Mine are E21 application 15x7 with 205/60/15. I had to ease out wheel well for clearance at full lock. as I recall.
