I have a 1995 Spi and find the steering very heavy.  Is it a straight swap to go from 13" to 12" wheels?  Nothing to change or adjust?

 

Thanks

Peter

If you have the large 'Sportpack' wheel arch extensions which came with the factory fit option of 13" wheels, the 12" wheels might look a bit lost in them depending on the width and offset of the 12" alloy wheels. Any smaller replacement arches would also have to fit over the front wings where they have been cut away to clear 13" wheels and fixing holes in different positions may involved bodywork repairs/painting.
