Barely , mad-mk1 has them on his green car , they fit the guards really snugly and he had to grind part of the rear subframe away to physically let them fit .

14" wheels fit quite easliy.

The trouble starts when you are silly enough to fit tyres to the wheels. :mrgreen:

14s fit, rubber is an issue, mine came from jpan

wouldent suggest them for a daily as tyres were costly and extremely hard to find.
rear subframe needed the anglegrinder treatment, alas with the front guards.

not quite 4 inches harley, 1 3/4" up rear plus inch step drum
and 1 1/4 front with same stepdrums!

:D

they look very nice!
the only reasion i ask is because there is so little choice of wheels to chose from i would like something nice. i looked at og wire wheels but i would be too lazy to clean them all the time although they do look good.
