Covers for my wheels .

Here was watching what was the best measure of tires and rims for my car.

http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...uel-31567.html

The bottom line is that I prefer the extent origuinal 175 / 65R14 .

I bought a steel tire and tires second hand.

I bought a nissan covered second hand.

All this very cheap.

I also bought a waiter trays 400 millimeters . They are stainless steel. I did not find pizza molds of this size. But it closely resembles.

Wheels and tires:





Nissan covers :













you can see that did not fit properly , missing about 8 millimeters to enter completely.

Waiter Trays :



without cover nissan




with cover nissan





the separaccion between the rim and cover nissan . Does worse aerodynamics ?

I had thought that would fit well covered nissan .

Before finding the trays. Had pendado plug holes nissan cover with adhesive tape .

I have thought of. paste or attach with screws. Nissan cover and tray.

Good luck.

BTW, It looks as if you would benefit greatly by creating some gap fillers around the wheels.

did not know this store. seems like a good solution. bad are the costs of import

my English is bad.

"Gap fillers" are the square holes ?. Is it an advantage?

I can not seem to adjust the covers nissan. more to fit inside.

Your English is fine. No need to apologize here. Those trays look great. The "gap filler" that CD mentioned could be anything that fills the space between the Nissan covers and your wheels. Those trays look really nice.

I don't like the space between the cover and wheel. will another fit better to remove the 8 millimeters?
I like the trays also.
might see about cutting the covers centers out, leaving the circular mounting parts. attach the tray with screws to the circle. might have to bend the tray edge to make it flush. there is a thread on here somewhere that did that already.

Today at work I have stolen two cover nissan.
look silly.
I've seen some cover I liked in other cars. I have not stolen any cover. because I do not like to steal me.

okay I get it. after starting a mod. recommend me another mod.

I have a problem here is not called coloplast. I find thin plastic sheets.
methacrylate plates encounter. but they are very expensive.

gap fille before. I would like to cover the bottom of the car first. to lay it flat. the central part is almost flat. the front and rear has many places where air gets.
Another possibility is to use cardboard boxes. but it is temporary. I will open another thread when tested.

I too worry to eight millimeters of space.

Now I no longer worry so much. I have stolen two decks nissan.

nissan covered with trays wanted to join. to be easily removable. to look at the pressure of the tires without requiring tools.

I've seen as pizza pan molds mounted with screws. I think I'll do the same with my trays.

Good luck!

I thought at first attach the cover food to origuinal cover.

with screws like this :

http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post264302

or pasting like this :

http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea....html#post5714

I stole the covers nissan . I covers food fastened with screws to the rim. like this :

http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...tml#post190285

I remain so :



on deck . mark an X mark and drill two holes three millimeters .
think about making four holes. for more resistance.



check the rim to make holes . to cover and rim use a punch and hammer. not to slip the bit. and no fence to one side.



after making the holes in the rim. five millimeters . I threaded with a male six millimeters .



use M6x10 screws. galvanized . wide brim.



I made the holes six point five (6.5 ) millimeters to the deck. and replace the cover .

to put the screws . 'Four millimeters between the rim and the tire . tighten the screws. will deform a little cover . and I remain good.

It was getting dark . tomorrow I'll have more photos.
