Okay so I received my sportpack flares from minisport the other week.

I was just wondering what wheels would be needed to fill out the flares so that the tyre sits flush with the edge of the flare...?

I was thinking some 13x7 superlite's with 1" spaced drums... would this work?.. would I have to trim the front guards so that there is clearance on full lock? ( already have the templates )

some pics of mini's with sportpack flares & 13x7's would be great also if ya have some floating around. :wink:

Thanks fellas.

Guard trimming is a garantee.
The combination you have picked should get the desired outcome, but make sure you have a disc front end.
I'd also suggest you check the ball joint and bearing condition of the front hubs too.
:D

Is the disc front end really necessary? I mean.. If i had the funds to do it i would.. lol.. but working after school is gonna take me afew months to save up for the conversion :roll: ... could i get away with drums for awhile?

whats the pros and cons for the disc front end when using larger wheels?

The car will still stop with drums and 13s, but wont be as effective.
I wont spin off a heap of big words like inertia or rotational mass, I'll let you discover them.
Discs are just a highly recommended thing, like when you have a 1275 engine (or in some states its law).
:D
