Hi,
Well I guess you'll need to know if the wheels will clear the wings before anything else as you don't want to cut them.
I think if you've got enough wheel sticking out to fill the arches you'll need to cut the wings back.

I have a sportpack and the original wheels are 13x6 and i know have 13x7 superlight which stick out very slightly

I'm less worried about overall width, more about the likelihood of the wheels making contact with the front wings when turning or needing to have limiters added to the steering rack. I'm aware that the front wing is relieved for the Sportpack wheels but unsure whether it's needed due to clearance on suspension compression or to allow the wheel to turn (steer) within the constraints of the wing. There must be an established maximum wheel width & offset that will work without modifying the wings?

The difference in tyre diameter between a 165/60/12 and a 175/50/13 is 2.4mm, 13" being the larger. So the difference in space between the tyre and the wheel arch is the radius of the tyre, i.e. 1.2mm. Considering all the variables that can alter this wheel to wing space, 1.2 mm is negligible. So for all practical purposes you can assume that the 12" wheels with tyres are the same diameter as the 13" wheels with tyres.
