New Ride(not a supra)

[bigal0043]

I needed a new dd since my old one a 1987 honda accord rotted the frame away to nothing... But i got a 1995 Saturn S1 with 180k miles for $550. think i got a good deal? The body is excellant no rust and interior is nice... only thing i need to get i think are tires

can i put my old accord tires 165-13 on this one which need a 175/70-14??

i would imagine i cant with the diff in the 13 vs 14 radius

Anytime you can buy a running driving car for $550 thats a good deal!!!
Good luck with the Saturn!!!

As long as teh bolt patern are the same for the two rims, you can swap them!

Not necessarily..

There are things within the wheel... like brakes and shit. :nono:

i was thinking about taking them off the old rims and mounting to the new ones?? is that possible?

now saying that isnt and moving the whole tire/rim from my accord to the the saturn and there was enough clearance and bolt pattern matched up what about the difference in size? that would mess up my speedometer at all?

Ahhhahahah my father teases me all the time he is like yea he went to peru school... yea i figured as much on the wheel size ill just buy a new set of tires for the front i was looking and they are cheap like 40 a peice

Of course the body isn't rusty. It's plastic.

just be careful that you keep oil in it. saturns tend to lose the oil control ring and then burn lots of oil....leading to engine failure.

 

[bigal0043]

yea i was reading up on that on a saturn forum... that and the Coolant Temp Sensor cracks.. so ill get that changed up asap some chick had it before so idk how much maintence was done
