Hi Peeps

Sorry, couldn't help myself.
The Colway M+S 155R13's that came with the scrapper that was Camel have officially been branded an MOT failure due to perished cracked sidewalls.
So I bought some of these!! :devil:

Maxsport RB1 rally tyres 165/70R13's

They look suitably attacking..

Shame all the snow melted a week or two back

Cheers,

Plug

Woah... how tidy does that lot look!
...even the jack matches the car!!

 

[VmanC]

Did you buy them a little while ago or have you taken it apart again?

 

[Most Easterly Pandas]

Are they standard 2wd wheels?

Got em last week!!

The wheels btw are standard 5j steels from a Fiat Seicento SX


And don't panic about the inevitable carnage that'll ensue on the fuel filler cap!
I'm making a solid steel bash guard that will secure to the seatbelt mount on the inner arch

looking very butch Dying to see this sometime.
if they're sei wheels the offset will probably help keep those beefy tyres away from the fuel pipe but do they still tuck under the arches OK?

 

[CLXCraig]

The centos do have a low offset so yes, will definatley help, but being 5j and 165 might put you back in the same situation.... I hope your ready for show season!!

Very nice indeed. This is just the sort of tyre I'm looking for to put on Satan's Rodent when it's finished. How much were they, if you don't mind me asking?

Not a great amount £210 inc delivery & VAT for 4

sooo, just out of interest how much clearance is there at the front with those tyres? father in law has just dropped by with a massive chunky pair of 175/70 13 rally tyres for the fronts for winter but I'm thinking they might be a bit ambitious, especially with dropped suspension. (Also might look a bit like a tractor reversing with my regular tyres on the back)

Not a chance dude!! These 165's of mine are iffy. Sorry
I'm a bit worried about some things so I'm gonna post a question in a mo.

 

[firstcar-Y10]

ah well. maybe I'll stick 'em on the punto

They look awesome!

Almost look identical to Peugeot 106 Rallye wheels which IMO are beautiful.

I agree, but the Michelin steels on Rallye wheels are much nicer!
