wheel width

Postby Cucuz » Wed Dec 09, 2009 6:22 pm

i know there is loads of questions about wheels on here, but just a quick question, would 13x8 wheels be too wide to fit on the back of a 74 viva estate? thanks for any help 8)

expect they will go under the arches, but it will be down to the wheels offset as to whether they will fit. I have some 8J13 rims, and whilst there is room in the arches, the heavy offset means they stick out the arches 2"... Carlos Fandango anybody ?

you can squeeze an 8x13 under with 195x45x13 tyre as long as the offset is no more than -7.
its a bit tight but it will go!
just need to watch the front panel for scrubbing on a full lock.
