`Shack Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 another wheel qyestion.. i know, and probably going to get some abuse off someone for it.but basically, my mates off to look at a car with some mini superlights on and said he'd sell them on to me if i wanted them and if theyd fit.as they stand the wheels are;13x7JET -7with some 155/50/13 tyres.anyone know if these would fit on the lupo?or would there need to be some major arch work done?... or anyone know of someone putting some on a lupo so i can ask them directly what had to be done.sorry for being annoying, cheers for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Spigot rings and wobble bolts , and you will have some major poke.Not sure if the tryes will be outside the arch though so you might have to trial fit and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaperWeight1 Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I'd imagine caliper clearance will be an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiea7x Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 with an offset of -7 ther shud be plenty space for calipers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
`Shack Posted December 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 anyone know if the space between where the wheel bolts up to, and the arches are the same on a lupo as a polo 6n? because thats what their on at the minute and they fit on that fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 I'll upload a photo later of some Alley Cats i trial fitted off my mini with et-7 and a 7j. And 155/50? You sure you don't mean 175/50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleredarosa Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 ok when i bought my arosa i had set onit and they where probaly the biggest pain in the ass. first my car sat to low and hit every speed bump i had to have spacers on the front to stop them scrapeing the calipers and mine wasnt a sport.the rears stuck about an inch out from the arch and fronts stuck out like 1/2inch inch and i got alot of stick from the old bill for them also sat so uneven and tyres wore out real quick but wasnt sure why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLAST Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Do you have a picture?Regarding the scraping on calipers, these won't be an issue due to them being et-7 and probably off a Mini. Ever thought you had the tracking out, and odd tyres which caused an uneven height? If they were 13's, what else to you expect over speedbumps? Can't deal with it, buy bigger wheels...
