repro ford rs 13 x 7.5 wheels 99 GBP each, 120 GBP landed at your door for the four wheels. They are John Brown rims and look trick. also has 7 x 13's. thats $806 AUD all up. New 7 x 13 rebels - $250 each plus GST and post. Only trick is to whether the 13 x 7.5's will fit under standard arches ..

i dont know how to copy the website address across - but i googled john brown wheels and came up with midland wheels site. Their shop and prices are there - i phoned them for the frieght cost (120 GBP). Yes ive seen the wheels on trademe but the 7x 13's dont appeal. I would rather the 7.5's or 7 x 13 rebels - just unsure as to whether the 7.5's will fit under standard mk 3 arches ....

i reckon the front ones will squeeze n - using the mk1 diff should solve the rears - they (apparently) have 43/4 inch offset - from bolt up face to outer lip


apparently they do hit - slightly - not sure where have asked

for yr info wools - fitted an original 7.5 x 13 to the front to one of my mk 3's - looks good - just! I dont think the rears will make it but the mk 1 diff will allow ..

the 7.5 x 13's sit well and truely out from under the rear 1/4's - see the silver capri above. The mk 3 diff is 52 inches (length of housing only) the mk 1 is 50inches. So - altered a mk1 v6 diff ..











used mk3 brake assemblies and handbrake mechanism - the wheels now sit well under the 1/4's. prob best f u run 1
235's rather than 205's ...

as per - puzzlescort above - i brought these from Palmside (NZ) - they fitted these to a gxl i have. It had standard rims so thought i would dress it up a bit - cost $612 aud (included strip and fit - 13x7) (the car is on the way but it was in NZ at the time so the price was right). The aussie dollar does make it worthwhile ..
With the 13 x 7's u could use the mk 3 diff i guess ..




i brought another one as it works out cheaper for 2 - use a 40 ft container ..


ironically they are only 3 builds apart same VIN but one ends in 3, the other 6.
