Wheel you will just love

[Robert Whelan]

Got these wheels for my micra for when i put the arches on. They are 13in by 8in wide. Have a look and seen what you think?

Nice one fella.

duck tape should sort out the sparks
what offset are they btw?

 

[superls]

the offset look wrong they stick out too far

 

[Robert Whelan]

i think they are a 0j offset. With been a split rim i just choose what outter and inner rim i want. It has a 5 and half inner and 2 and half outer so it's 8in wide.

There a one off rim by bbs i think you can still get them but they are £1000 new

But if you put the arches on they are perfect.

 

[Swiper]

yeah, but they look good for the people with the wide arches, that's why i was asking. he says he's putting arches on aswell.

V. nice, tyres aren't going to be cheap though!
Craig

 

[ollie240585]

What size tyres will you require?

I can see tyres being very very expensive, as such an odd size.

 

[Robert Whelan]

i have worked out that a 205/60/13 will fit and i'm getting them for £42 a tyre.

Well that the wides tyre i can get in 13in unless i go to yoko

 

[solarice]

id of thought an 8j 0 offset would be to wide for the arches...but maybe not...have you checked the fronts, as you may be very close to the front struts, especially if you plan on lowering the car / playing with camber later on.

look quite nice though

 

[Robert Whelan]

believe me they are on there limit for room wise i think this is the biggest you are going to fit no way you can go any bigger.

There not really a oj ofset because they have a 5 1/2 inner rim and 2 1/2 outer.

Camber wise i'm making up adjustable bottom arms so that i can have the camber i want. but they fit with 1 degree of camber though.

does the almera 1.6 brakes fit under a 13in wheel

robert

i had sunny vented discs on my super s with 13" alloys on, but the riveted steelies caught on the rivets

 

[Robert Whelan]

Thanks for the info frank

 

[Craig]

I had (and still do have for sale ) a set of March ST brakes that fit fine underneath 13" steels.
Craig

 

[Robert Whelan]

what size are they and are they as big as the almera's

 

[Craig]

They use 100nx disks so 240x18mm.
They ar slightly smaller (242mm I believe) than some Almera disks which may explain why they fit.
Craig

 

[Robert Whelan]

if you have everything for them to go on the car i will take them off you.

How much are you looking for them

 

[Craig]

Yes, not sure what shape the disks are in, I will chech that I still have the shims.
Whereabouts are you located?
Craig

 

[Robert Whelan]

i'm in the midlands what area are you in.

Also do you have any pic?

 

[Craig]

I'm just North ofLondon, going to the Midlands area soon, though.
I think I have some pics somewehre, let me have a root around.
Craig

 

[Robert Whelan]

hey craig did you get a chance to get them pic as i'm still interested in the brakes

 

[Craig]

Sorry, I had completely forgotten, here they are:

This is where the improvement comes from:

Bit of meat in the pads:

[Robert Whelan]

How much are you looking for the calipers posted with everything i need.

I will source new brake disc myself there off a 100nx right
