13" alloys wanted

Featured Replies

After some no more than 6 or 6.5" wide and no funny offsets - they're going on a breadvan and I only wanna sort the rear arches ideally. They must have a bit of dish to them and in any condition (have new tyres to go on and can refurb them myself).

WHYG?

Hocks? sorry need some with dish as I said :p

i might be able to get some alleycats in 13x6j in very rough condition and 4 x 98 pcd so you would need wobble bolts

Interested but don't know much about wobble bolts, are they safe?

there are 13 x 7 atiwe's in the for sale section

East devon, but I'm going up to uni in Leamington Spa in 2 weeks if that's any closer?

you'll be lucky to get anything with dish that are 6 inches wide!!!

its just the nature of wheel design wider wheels usually have more dish

minilights are prob the best your gunna get.

and yes wobble bolts are perfectly safe!!

Yea I understand that, but there are wheels out there. I'm not after 7+ inch deep dish things..

I do like alleycats so they may be my best bet :)

Ok mate, could you find out more info for me please I am definitely interested in these, and some pics please to matt_j@hotmail.com

cheers :)

I've texted my mate but not heard back from him yet

The alleycats have gone, they were in very bad shape though. I've got some 5 spoke sport raiders that would look good with the centres done body coloured or blacked out. they are missing one centre cap though. they are otherwise in very good condition, see what you think:

yea its a squareback and i have some good quality tyres already in 13" 14s would mean lots of arch work.

why would it? i ran 15s on my last square and didnt need to mod the arches at all. sell the tyres! what size tyres are they just out of interest

165/60/13s Falkens. Grippy but enough sidewall to take bumps better I find.

Its lowered 60/40 and scrubs with passengers... So 14s would be worse? I dunno.

from what i can tell squares seem to be funny on rear arches, I've had 3 now and each one has been different regarding archwork. i had a gt which had 14s fitted with 165/65 tyres and that was fine, was lowered 40mm plus another 30 due to the ice install and never scrubbed. most important thing on squares are tyre choice and offset. will keep my eyes pealed for some suitable 13s though
