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.

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!

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. |
