Why do you wish to fit so wide tyres anyway? You're going to need arms of steel to park the thing (assuming this is a road car), and Continentals aren't exactly great...

to be honest the 10's are for the back the reason being there isnt a lot of mins with such wide wheel even my mates drift nissan RS13 (200sx) has only got 8's on

13x10 rear and 13x8 front i hear you ask?



Pah, that's nothin!




I get what you're going for, look forward to seeing the results!

How about this idea Find a small bus. That Fabricates Fibre glass products on an industrial site.They should take the work on for a pair. If you can work with alloy make a pair or ask for a man who can for you. I have Vortex 7.5x18 on my car thought they were really big.

Yeah they are Wellers, there 'Weller steels' and to me they don't look like 13x10 on the back, plus look how stretched out the tyres are.
Also you can't exactly include the dub's wheels in this because there completely different, they also are prob not for that car as there massively big(not width)

look at abs motersport magrave arches they work.

you mush have banded or splitrims then?

[Lukie-J]

i was simply showing the kinda look he was going for, and that 13x10s do exist!
i think the PCD is 1mm out so wobbly nuts could work on VW fitment?
could be wrong though!

they are continental's i know your going to laugh but kwik fit will order them in and they are between 150 and 200

Looking at the ad, and how the wheel is fitted on the front hub, the suggestion is that it has a large -ve offset which is bringing wheel into the car, so arches may not need to be that wide... however the down side is, your turning circle is going to be seriously compromised, to the point where it may just be impossible to drive it on the road.

Personally I would not worry about the arches until you've got the wheels with tyres on and see if they fit for a start, as you are limited to the overall diameter of the wheel/tyre at the back by the radius arm.

May I ask the size of the tyre ?

A friend of mine had a traveller with fortec kit on it

he ran 8x13's on the front and 10x13's on the back

[Down&Out]

Well, as far as arches are concerned, seeing as sportspack only cover 13x7's, your probably looking at either some REALLY wide miglia arches, or you'll have to make some.

Although i assume this car will tramline more than any tram in this country could.

8s and 10s are not that wide. If he is using 8s on the front that is only slightly wider than 7s that lots of people use. you would be after a 205 with a very low profile.

My Cobra has no power steering, a quick rack and 275 fronts, 315 rears (wheels are 10s and 12s). It is heavy to park, but as long as you get moving it isn't that bad. With 275 slicks on - you would build arm muscles pretty quick - first time I drove it - I thought my arms would swell up, I was almost thankful to find that I had a slow leak in the slick and it was heavier than it should have been.
