12" wheels for a car?

Question

Where in the heck can I get some 12" wheels ( preferably chrome" for a 1990 ford festiva L. I got no clue, all I see is trailer tires and i don't know if them would work. Thx

Answer 1

You can use a trailer rim. Don't use a trailer tire, but the rim is okay. There is no difference in the rims. Just make sure you get one that is rated properly for the application.



The car only weighs 1700 pounds. Divide that over 4 wheels and you need a wheel that can support 500 pounds (factoring a bit for your weight and cargo). Just about any rim should handle that, unless you buy one for a golf cart.



You need a 4x4 bolt pattern. The link provided has decent looking rims for 50 bucks each. Most rims should also have a PSI rating. Make sure it's above whatever you inflate your tires to and you'll be good.

Answer 2

try a junkyard, or your Ford dealer, some trailer rims may also fit, depending on the stud pattern. You may also be able to use 13 inch rims and put a lower profile tire on

Answer 3

12's are going to be extremely difficult to find. You may wish to consider upgrading to 14" wheels and tires.
