13x8 Rebels - Want to swap for a set of 13x7's
As per above I have a set of 13x8 Rebels that I want to swap for a set of 13x7 or smaller. They are too wide for me as I have rear disks and the front hubs are 10mm wider than standard and the car is quite low. These would be perfect for a standard height escort or if you have flares. Cheers Matt

Sorry my bad, Let me know if you want to sell them either way. Maybe cash your way plus the hotwires?

I wasn't aware that there were 13 X 8's available??
Sure they are not 13 X 7's (same width as the deep dished hotwires)?

Hey Sean, no I didn't. What's the link?
It turns out they are 7" rims as I measured them inside edge to outside edge and got 8" whereas they should be measured from the inner edges.
I will look into getting them machined and then see how I go.
Cheers,
Matt

"I will look into getting them machined and then see how I go."
Which part of the wheel are you planning on machining?

I've got a spare mk1 cortina diff here with machined axles to suit Alfa discs if you want to try out for width.
Narrower than the escort. I'm running one with discs and 8.5" rims under standard but rolled arches.

Hi Peter, I'm not sure how they do it. There is a joint not far from work that I'll pop in and have a chat. Do you have any experience with this? Cheers Matt

I learnt the mk1 Cortina diff in escort trick from Ian Harwood in the uk where he rallied a mk1 escort In the early 70s using a Cortina diff back then ! I done it on a mk1 escort which had 7x13 jellybeans and 185/65 tyres without any scrapes . If ur running turret boxes , there could be a clearance problem with the upright shock. You will need to buy or make spring platforms for the diff as the Cortina ones are in the wrong place.

Hi Matt,
"Hi Peter, I'm not sure how they do it. There is a joint not far from work that I'll pop in and have a chat.

Just concerned that might not be a good idea to machine material from the wheel.

Thanks for the input Marty.
Peter - Yes, I am very mindful of weakening the wheel. No harm in having a chat though.
Cheers
Matt
