:o:o:o

Why 13's......... wont it look........funny?

I will fit - all depends on offset

I am running 6's on my super - Jaks got 7's
Just wont be ANY wheel though

Why not a nice set of 15's?

Depends what off set they have been made to.

Just my 2c worth i reckon 14s look crap 13s and your gunna have these huge wheel arches and these dinky little wheels in the middle and a great big gap all around,before you do anything rash have a trial fit and see what it looks like,my apologies if this sounds bitchy but i always talk like this,cheers Mick.😉

thanks guys,
so they may b able to fit.
does anyone know wat offset i would need them to be for them to fit? maybe Jak, wat do u hav on ur 7inch wheels?
i cant trial fit them coz they hav to be sent to me after i by them, theres no rear getting around it. if i can find out the right offset they need to be i can then ask them wat offset the wheels r.

yeah before u jump to any conclusions, u havent seen these wheels yet so dont worry, they will look good, not some 13 inch crosswire or globes or sum junk.

Sorry, my mind was a little fogged and I posted some rather inaccurate information. I still don't think you'll fit those wheels successfully, however.

Theres a easy way to find out put the car on a jack n try the wheel up against the hub. get some one to turn the steering wheel while you look.

Question, Is the rim going to fit over the brakes????? If its not a tight fit, the rim is going to hit the brakes.
Check this first before you look at offest.

YEs good thinkin Dino... try the wheel on the brake hub first.

Being 13inch it probally wont fit.

the 14's on my ex's car rubbed on the brake caliper and I had to grind it back a little. It was a converted to disk link pin, but shouldnt have been too far different. I think you'll have trouble, and I dont think I would like the look, although its personal thing.

basically theres no testing, the wheel is being shipped after i purchase it, thats why im asking u guys.
do u think this is too much of a risk they wont fit? theyre costing around $1500, maybe this purchase is not so wise..?
