    Will 13" steels fit over 239mm brakes?

    The rears fit just but the fronts don't. The 13's are et38 but arer a daft shape on the inside which gives no caliper clearence.

    Its now got 2 skinny 13's on the back, a 14x6 on one front and a space saver on the other!! It looks great!!! [:s]

    Anyone got any 16" compomotive MO's?

    Which shape ones are they for reference? I had mk1 driver steels on
    my 8v for sliding around on and they fitted a treat.

    These ones, off a 91' Ryder model. I'm not sure of width but the tyres weighed in at a whopping 135/80x13!!!

    Ah 'donuts'... I hate that pattern of wheel. [xx(]
    Those tyres should have been around 155/80x13" must have been
    owned by a cheap-ass 2CV fan...

    Not that cheap ass, they paid #250 to get that door painted a different colour to the rest of the car then sold the car for #150 [:s]

    More like dumb ass I think :lol:

    What front brakes did these Ryders come with then? I didn't think any
    mk2s had front drums.
