Will the wheels fit?
« on: January 15, 2017, 07:55:03 PM »
Just a quick question, i had a look round the site and couldnt find an answer, so what are the chances of 7x13 wheels fitting my stock 126? Ive done no changes to anything - the suspension is stock and theres no arch extensions etc... i need to know before i buy them! Cheers guys  :)

It will be tight, a quick calculation makes them about 180mm and I hear a 175mm tyre starts to rub in some places. A 165 tyre may well fit with a Euro stretch look. I would advise lowering it though as it may look like me a Tonka toy :)

Oh you may need spacers too depending on the offset but that's no big deal. Best to buy them first then if you do need them you can measure just how wide you want the spacer :thumbup

One last thing, the tires on the wheels at the moment say 205/60R13... is that excessive for tire width even for 7" wheels?  ???

205mm is roughly 8 inches so they will overhang each side if the rim by half and inch which I wouldn't say was excessive

okay ive realised these wheels have the wrong PCD, but ive found some that are right.
The offset on these is ET-7, and so they would be sticking out a bit, how much though? anyone know or have experience?  :D
