13" Minilites, too small?? - rd070707 - 19-10-2012
looking at a set of 13" Minilites locally, they have 185/60/13 tyres on them. will they look ridiculous? would i ever be able to get low enough?
i was looking for something different lol

could look ok but what model have you got? anything with brakes 266mm or bigger wont go under 13" wheels

IMO 13s are to small on a 106...
13s on a 306 would be out of the question..

hdi meridian bog standard yet to be lowered. would 60mm leave a massive gap though?
RE: 13" Minilites, too small?? - Niall - 19-10-2012
so you will have 266mm front brakes. Not sure they will fit under 13s.

They wont.
14s only just fit!
Also yes it would look ridiculous lol, ph1/2 1.4s come with 13" steels.....massive sidewalls and very little rim!

would look silly mate, on 106/saxo i say look a tad small so on your Hdi would look hurrendous, Why not try getting some BBS reps or somthing, still go low but bigger rim with some stretch

They'd look like you were driving a car with sofa casters...

15" minilites however could look very cool

I've had 13" Compomotives on my 205 which looked to small even on that. Needed 25mm spacers and a slight grind of the caliper to fit over 243mm disks.

185/60-13 (---ford ? ) seen them on a few ka's and they look ok, very old school but nice wheels
seen a 106 xsi on ebay with 14" ones and it looked good ??
so 14/15" would be worth a try ??
RE: 13" Minilites, too small?? - rd070707 - 19-10-2012
yeah 15's is what i wanted but these were cheap so briefly considered. want something different, banded steelies or something else kinda wide and euro. the search continues..
