Paul,

Dave has 13" wheels:

<<Don
  They are COMPOMOTIVE rims they are available in the US at a 
company 
called MOTORSPORTS SPECIALTIES in Pennsylvania.......the rims on the 
Marcos are 7" in front and rear.......I did give some bad info last 
post......the front rims have a 4" backspace not 3" the rears have a 
3" backspace>>

<<Hi Paul, Don and all
Paul I came down with the flu on Saturday........from all reports I 
missed a really good show.......my 0.02c on the wheel question......
I am using 205/60/13 on my car that is what it had on it when I 
bought it ,I just bought new tyres as the others were race tyres
The rim has a 3" backspace ,that is its  measured from the mounting 
face of the rim to the outer bead of the rim .I have no suspension 
interference even with the wider tyre .......with a taller rim you 
may be able to go further inboard(more backspace) because you might 
be above the upper balljoint with the inside of the rim. Check 
carefully with full suspension travel.........remove the shock and 
cycle the suspension up and down to check clearances .
  As for rims I looked high and low for a particular style wuth the 
correct backspace and bolt circle for another car and eventually 
went 
to a modular rim........the backspacing and widths can be custom 
tailored to youR needs ........a bit more money but worth it I think
     Cheers Dave#5577 >>
