I have alleycats on mine bit of hastle but well worth it once they are on.what size are they? my uncles got a set of 13x7's spare, but im not sure if there gonna be to wide :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupown Posted February 12, 2011 Report Share Posted February 12, 2011 the 13 x 7 ones. they do have quite alot of poke so you will need to get 165 55 13 tyres i think and i have a bit of extra camber at the front just to be safe. i then had mm spacers on the front to clear the calipers and i reccomend wobble bolts. they do look good tho.

tom pennington Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 going to have to run 15/20mm adapters, meaning tyres on the back will have to be chosen carefully, tried a 165 50 15 on to check for stretch; definately want a lower profile, but may have to run 155 50s to keep the tread in the arch as the backs are pokey as **** (backs are 7j fronts are 6j) +20mm adapters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
