13"s over 1.2 brakes..

[xcore]

Will 13" wheels fit over mk2 ph1 1.2 calipers and disks?

cheeerrsss

 

[Hazza]

Why would u want 13"s?

 

[xcore]

Euro time

 

[cat171]

I read elsewhere on here that they don't fit.

 

[f0xy]

14" is smallest IIRC, you can get 13's on if you use different brake carriers apparently....not too sure though

 

[xcore]

meh 14"s it is then! cheers guys

 

[Marky_]

My mk2 ph1 came with 13" steelies as standard.... if all the 1.2s came with the same brake setup then they should fit.

 

[Ben.]

they defintaley dont fit my mk2 ph 2, so wouldnt have thought they would on mk2 ph1

they do fit on the back though

 

[-KarL-]

mine came with 14" steelies and they are pretty close to the brakes

 

[tim124]

you could do what those crazy old mini owners do, they put smaller brakes on so they can get 10 inch wheels on

Check out this bad boy.

13s all around

^^nice what colour is your car? as in code? sorry to be cheeky but im having trouble finding out what mine is!

 

[Marky_]

Cheers.
My colour code is ov727. You'll find your code on the oval plate on your drivers door pillar. The paint code is one up from the bottom left corner.

yea same, (same colour as yours) i was told thats trophy red and is only avalible on the trophy cars?:S

 

[steven.m]

I thought all 1.2 8v and 1.4 8v cars had 13" steel wheels as standard and the 16v versions came with 14" alloy wheels.

Lol. Wasn't the fella selling it you that said that was it?
Nah it's not quite the same as a trophy - although i do like to pretend that it is! .
Not sure what the trophy paint code is.

I thought all 1.2 8v and 1.4 8v cars had 13" steel wheels as standard and the 16v versions came with 14" alloy wheels.

Not sure about that. I've seen a lot more ph1 1.2 (which were mostly 8v) with 14" steelies than 13"s

 

[xcore]

Il check mine in amin, didnt think of that lol

Parker's says it has 13" standard on Mk2 ph1 1.2 8v.

Mk2 Ph2 have 14" wheels. So I'm not sure if the Ph2 will take 13s.

Would you believe my 1.2 16v Sport is a group 10? I thought it was group 2 lol

 

[Marky_]

Yeah, i reckon the group 10 part is definitely wrong.

 

[tim124]

group 10 sounds about right, you have to go to tiny cars to get down below about 8

 

[tim124]

actually it might be a little high, diesel clio is group 5 though.
maybe the fact that its a 'sport' adds lots on

 

[steven.m]

But the 1.4 16V Si is a group 6

 

[Marky_]

That's very high. A 1.6 16v Rsi is group 10.

According to parkers the 8v RNs, RTs and Grandes ('00 onwards) have 14s.
I've certainly seen more 14"s around.

 

[steven.m]

Possibley to do with the brakes though as I'm sure there are a few different brake manufacturers used. My brakes are by Sachs but the Haynes manual states two other ones. Cant remember what they are off the top of my head.

It may help if the original poster could identify which model he has? Or he could just get a set of each and try

 

[xcore]

Nope two guys from here told me ov727 was trophy red yesterday..

 

[Marky_]

Hmmm. The colours look different to me :S

What wheels did your car come with?
