mrdanger2002 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thinking of getting some weller steels for my Lupo TDI.I was thinking 8x13 ET-10 for the rearand7x13 ET 3 (or 24) for the frontHas anyone put wellers on a lupo or give some advice?I guess some arch rolling might be needed for the rear?Thanks in advance!

HAIRBear Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 i ahve wellers on mine, unless you modify the rear springs, chopping or something similar, on 13's the arch gap will be big enough for you not to worry about any arch work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Green Giant Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 personally, i would go for 7x13's and 5.5x13!!! with the most tuck on the fronts you can get your hands on!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I run 8j ET0 rear, 7j ET10 front, and the rears poke too much. Plus, 13" Wellers probably won't fit over your brakes so i would give up while your ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Green Giant Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 true ben! the TDi brakes are larger than our tiny disks and drums! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAIRBear Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 on a sport though?? brakes are bigger onsports which limits which wheels you can put over them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenLAST Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Some people, being those with 1.0 or 1.4s, not 1.4 sports or TDI's due to larger brakes.Should do some research, as i may have just saved you a chunk of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Buy some bigger wheels. Its wins all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLAST Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Run 5mm spacers. They should go over the brakes easy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
