scotty_82 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Non sport, yes.You will have to be really really low though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeyg Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 No I have a Lupo 1.4 sport and want 13s on it but not sure about the brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty_82 Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Obviously not then. But also massively depends on the wheels, I've done it before with no problems on a tdi sport which I think has the same brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeyg Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Well I'm thinking starmags ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallCarDave Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I got told 13 starmags wouldnt fit over sport brakes :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkswagenDan Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Only some racing 13's might fit. But it's touch and go. 13's look shite on lupo's anyway. Just go bigger, you won't regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeyg Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Okay just brought some rsl cults but my cars too low and scrubs like absolute **** I don't think arch rolling will be enough any help ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolkswagenDan Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Flare your arches so they're wider and therefore can accommodate the wide wheels better. Get more stretch on the go and/or lower profile tyres. Failing that, sell the cults and buy something more sensible, you must be very f'ing close to the ground on 13's and coils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Stretched tyres + arch rolling = win. What size/offset are the Cults? You can always - now brace yourself - raise the car a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeyg Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 There 14s and et30 and 8j all round and what's arch flaring ? As in what's involed and I need some rear adjusters to do raise it which I misplaced in the bin in a mad moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
