Re: My Coupe Project Cool keep us all updated with your progress on it  The wheels say to me that it will need a dark paint colour?

Re: My Coupe Project They're 13x6 or 5.5 not sure, but they fit under the arch ok, but i had to limit the travel on the rack slightly because they rubbed a little on the inside of the body.

Re: My Coupe Project Look more like 13x7's to me  nice wheels and something a bit more different for a Coupe more of a VW wheel

Re: My Coupe Project Well I thought they looked like 7 inch rims, hence my question. I have 7 inch rims on the back of my car and 6 inch on the front

Re: My Coupe Project I checked the wheels and theyre 6" wide, its got 6j cast into the back of the wheel, and they are rover group wheels and i read somewhere that apparently these were made by compomotive for rover, because these are almost exactly the same as the mini era turbo wheels except that the turbo ones have era cast into the centre cap and compomotive is cast into the rim, and the ones i have, have mini cast into the cap and the rim doesnt have any writing cast into it.
They probably looked like 7's because of the tyres, theyre 175/50/13 yoko A539's.

Re: My Coupe Project I've got 7 inchers on the back of my coupe aswell. The classic deep dish minilite with, I would guess, a large offset. Not entirely happy with the look though as they stick out too far. I was pulled over and severely hassled years ago for having wheels that stood proud of the arches on a Bedford CF. I was taken to court over it but got off on a technicality...! Anyway they didn't stick out anything like as far as these wheels on the coupe. Do you chaps change your wheels over to slimmer ones for MOT time...? That's what I'm planning to do.

Re: My Coupe Project All ive done to tuck mine in on the back is give it a lot of negetive camber , mite not be very practical but it certainly looks good.

Re: My Coupe Project My car is only used on a track so MOT's not important, but I had the 7" rims made with an appropriate offset so they don't look to bad
