could possibly be the wrong section but i am also after a picture, i Just bought some 13x7 et-7 alloys what tyre size would i need to run for them to fit correctly in my arches which are not rolled or flared

many thanks

Karl

I would get your arches flared unless you are going low low.i am at 60mm and they stick out way too much!

What wheels are they?

superlights version 2 and yeah I'm pretty low haha

I prefer schmidts.. :p You'll have a hell of an arch gap with those wheels even with arch rolling, and they'll be illegal cause the tyres will stick out of the arch.. There's a polo by me on themmm

ill have helpers out front and back wound all the way down, fit my standard exhaust back on cause my back box hits the floor as it is ill pull it off i reckon they're white with polished lip to

I prefer schmidts.. :p

the cheap non splits non stainless lip ones though by the looks of it lol

Mk4's and mk3's always look silly on these wheels. They poke far too much because there made for mini's

You can try it but you'll need some diecent bodywork. Flairing will require a call at the body shop to sort the paint out after the roller fucked it up!

so basically going to be a bitch could i get a specific stretch to get the tyres within the arch ?

I'm on 13x7 et -7, and i have had no problems with poke, just flared my arches yday although it isnt necessary!

look at po*low* he's the only one iv seen ever pull off 13s on a 6n they're a similar offset to yours aswell...

what tyre size you running ?

I've got 13 x 7 i think there et -7 starmags and I've got mine on with not arch work with 165/65/13

Your now coming in to the club of "13inch wheels. For tiny dubs and the brave"

But as said you have to go silly low to pull them off + as mines not a daily it will be going even lowwer next week when the polo comes back out to play after is time spent in the garage over the winter and when it make its return it will have some nice new changes

yeah deadly dailys ftw i do 30+miles a day on not so smooth roads going to be fun

Your car is going to hate you + your pocket is going to have to be quite deep as my subframe is fucked and i need a full new exhaust and the car has to be undersilled every four weeks lol

oh dear this was probably a bad idea then

get some 175/50's on wind the coilies down (if you have them) and you will soon regret your decision. enjoi :)
