si_leeds Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 if its a sport then 13s are about 5mm too small to fit over the breaks mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike89 Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) you may have problems even if it is not a sport. The mk2 1.4s had larger brakes than the 1.0, so i would say the mk1 is the same. You may have to shave the caliers in order to fit. If you dont want to do this, then throw on some spacers, though this will make the wheels sit further out. With et6, its not worth the hassle. Even with a few mm taken off the calipers, they will still sit out too far. hope this helpsmikey Edited July 28, 2010 by mike89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jowey Posted July 28, 2010 Report Share Posted July 28, 2010 WILLTHEYFIT?assuming you are currently on 13" steels on your mpi.then the mags will fit, how well they will sit is questionable.Personally believe 13's to be too small and need mega lows to pull them off.

Jowey Posted July 29, 2010 Report Share Posted July 29, 2010 Ronal Turbos are a good safe bet mate.Can also wind the car right down low and really wont get any issues.Other than maybe a bit of scrub on full lock (who cares)and perhaps the very bottom of the lower part of the bumper with scrape speed bumps (again who cares ?)

Insurance is killing me atm :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
