Minilites ??

[A51jeremy]

hey all i have 15" wolf race alloys on my micra at the mo , bt would like to get some minilite's and was just wondering if any one knew if they fitted. if so would 13x7 fit ??

sure they will, many people have done it, but as I always have to say. Its all about the offset and tyresize. Diameter isnt relevant

my old car on the left with 13x7 -7 et fitted with 165/55 some from negative camber was added

i no micra's are pcs 4x100 and minis are 4x101.6 will the fit straight on ?? so for being a noob but wheels realy arnt my strongest point at all xD ! for lowering with 13" mini lites recon 35mm would look nice ?

You will need the correct spigot rings 67.1 to 59.1 to keep the wheels centred correctly because the best way to mount them is to use wobble nuts. I got my spigot rings and wobble nuts from ebay, £6 for spigots and circa £40 for wobble nuts. Not cheap but definitely worth it
Have a look at my pictures as my K10 is lowered 35mm too. I would love to go lower but the roads in Sheffield are terrible and as the car is my daily driver and I have 2 children I do need to keep some suspension travel/ride comfort!

35mm wouldn't work you'd still have massive arch gap

These were my 13x7 et-7 with 175/50 tyres lowered about 40mm. Needs atleast another 40mm off if you're planning similar sized tyres imo.

I'm planning on fitting 13x7 for the track but on a sensible, (still to be decided), ET so we don't end up coming back into the pits with both front arches missing, the rears all ballooned out and all 4 tires slashed to heck lol

i thought mini cb was 59.1 anyway??

 

[A51jeremy]

so cut springs and shocks to have a good looking ride hight for minilites then realy ? =/
