General 126 Wheels

[Eklipze3k]

Hi All,

I'm hoping to become the proud owner of a 126 BIS in the next week or so and am looking at putting alloys on. Does anyone know what sort of wheels I should be looking at and what the fitment is (ie. 4x98, 4x100, 4x105 etc)? Also, I imagine 13's would be about the biggest that would fit comfortably?

Is there anything else I should know before ordering any wheels? FYI - I'm looking at BSA 138's

I know that the pcd is 4 x 98 but not sure about the offset. have seen cinq sporting wheels on one so maybe it the same as cinq/sei

If you like the minilite style, go to tyresave... they have a website and ask for KN Minotaurs to fit a 126, they will specially drill a set for you and supply the correct bolts and rings for the centre bore. Not expensive either.

Years ago, in a former life, I remember people running the FSM's with X19 alloys with no mods. Haven't got a clue what size they are but I'm sure they had no clearance prolems. Can't see a Bis being any different. However, I have just sunk half a bottle of red and & seven Penguin biscuits so I'm not even sure who I am......

PCD is 4x98. (I've seen people using 4x100 wheels, old Alpina alloys for example)
centre bore - 58mm

I guess most of 4,5'' - 5,5'' rims will fit

Most 126 owners fit 13 x 5.5j with 165/55/13 tyres as these fit quite nicely or if you wanna go silly do what i did and fit 185/50/13's this needs some serious lowering at the rear and I need to do some camber adjustments up front to get it to fit the arches properly (read legally)- most cinq fitments wheels seem to go on quite well.
