You'll need to give us a bit more info Andrew , what type/size/offset of wheels ? The back is where you normall have trouble , put one on and see if it rubs on the shock absorber , if it does , get some widened brake drums rather than seperate spacers . |

The old kidney mags (aka jellybeans) are designed for early Mini drums. So they will fit fine with flat drums, or the later spacered ones. if the latter, you WILL need flares. I have a set on Barney, with S brakes and spacer drums. They are just legal with S flares.

Ah yeah , I missed the 10 x 4.5 bit  , my bad ..... They should fit without any problems at all , definitely no worries on the front since your's is all standard , the backs maybe depending on the size of your rear shocks . I'd say 90% sure they'll fit without rubbing and will look great .

? beter get out the debit card.What model Clubby? Common ones with 3.5" wheels had flat drums, = OK. Clubby S with 4.5" wheels had spacered drums = need flares. |
