I am going to do the Fiesta brake conversion to get 10's onto my car.

I want to put the above alloys on and was wondering if anyone knows if they fit onto 7.9" discs and calipers?

I know most wheels fit but not sure if these will.

Thanks

they'll clear the fiesta set up no probs

Beautiful

Now i just need to find some special/exaction alloys

oh yeah and sort the fiesta setup out lol

I think Madmax had a set.

Make sure you get a set which come with the correct wheel nuts. It took me many months and £40 in the end to source a set of nuts for the wheels I had a few years back. If you get desperate for the nuts, I know where there is a set !

You can still get the wheel nuts brand new at about £2.50 each and yes you do need the right ones. You can also still get the rubber caps for them and the wheel centre caps. Only the rims themselves are out of stock but they aren't exactly rare, they were standard equipment on the Mayfair in Germany for years. They will need refurbing though!

I'm not so sure they'll be an easy fit. I don't know exactly what the difference between the outer diameter of the callipers is but my Exacton (not Exaction) Mini Special rims only clear my Cooper S callipers by less than 1/4". It's so tight that you can't use stick on weights inside the rim, you need to use knock ons. They are cast really thick which is why they are popular for turning into split rims, lots of metal to machine into.

Dan,

Are the nuts available from MiniSpares, do you have a part number?

A friend of mine is mocking up a set as we speak and tried them on a few wheels, he found that exactons cleared fine

Bert is that the guy on MF?

I have been reading about the fiesta conversion on there.

[crazy skunk]

Sorry to bring up an old one but could you tell me where i can get a set of these wheel nuts from please?

[bmcecosse]

Just to confirm - I had Exactons with Fiesta MKI calipers and there was plenty of clearance. Great brakes too!

[crazy skunk]

What wheel nuts did you use?

[mk1leg]

I used these wheels as they were the only alloys that fitted over KAD 4 pots.................



and I got the wheel nuts from sommerfords...................
