I asked the guy if they came off a mini but before I even think of bidding on them, what would have 13x8 wheels on a mini be like, he also said they weighh 16.5kgs each.


Opinions ??

i would ask for a rolling diameter as those tyres look pretty big, i think 500mm is a good size and you wouldnt want to go any bigger then 520mm as they will scrub all the time.

Hmmmmm - and they are Y352 Yoko tyres too - would be very sticky.

Look nice on a mini just quietly...but I would have to remove the overflow tank from the RH front guard and the brake booster from the LH one!! :x

Edit - ooops - swap left with right...lmao...This is my PORT, this is my Starboard

Hooroo

Yeah i saw those there on the weekend, and thought "Moke yeah..... mini, no way". The tyres are HUUUGE (perfect for a moke)

As long as the offset is correct............. they could be similar fitment to 13x8 alleycats

far too big. they might fit..for straight line :lol: far too big :lol:

They are about 570mm according to my calculations...i had 550mm on mine and that was on the limit of what i'd do.

They don't look as far offset as deep dish 13x7's either..

We think very much alike. I think they would look awesome on a Moke, but the steering would be heavy and they'd chew wheel bearings like there's no tomorrow. :(
