The car has the original steel wheels on it. I want to put 10" minilite allows on it with new tyres (falcon or yokohama i guess).

What size can I fit? I don't want to fit arches so i guess that limits how wide I can go?

thank you
Neil

depends on offset, but I think you'll be okay up to about 5"

If you're still on standard drums on the front you can fit 10x6 without a problem :proud:

Ideal would be the 4.5" with offset for drum brakes. Note that the offset has to be different from the disc-braked cars.
