13 x 7 Rebels. Do they fit within stock Mk1 wheel arches?

Hi all a mate got a set of 13 x 7" Road Rebels.  Sitting them on the axles the rim sticks out 15mm past the lip.  I always thought they fitted inside.  The rims are definitely supplied as 4 x 108 from new.  Anyone else had any trouble with them?

Capri The car I always promised myself

    Depends on how you was checking them, if the car was with dangling axle on one side it will poke out more, ya know angle n stuff.
    If they was tested (tyres off) , the best way is bolt the rim on to the hub and sit the rim on 4in wood blocks and lower the car to resting height will give a more accurate assessment.
    Rebel rims of 7in should be the same as say minilite, globes, crosswires etc.

    All depends on the offsets but I think you might struggle at the front.  I have 13x6 hotwires on mine that sit just outside the front guard.

    Most of the Rebels I have seen tend to be fairly deep dished by default.
    I think the rears would be fine, but 13x7 on front of a mk1 capri would most likely rub.
    My 14x6 with 205/50  on minilights is about on the limit

    they stick out past the guards - but who cares - they're rebels
