my wheels dont fit!!!

I have had this problem since i baught the car, just never got round to ask anyone about it.

I have a set of OZ Superleggeras in 16", i have them on the rear of the car but they dont fit under the cycle wings at the front of the car, can anyone tell me why this is?

Also has anyone got any pics of the cycle wing holders supplied by MK ?

Tyres May be wrong.
You may need a smaller profile,
or less width tyre.

I have 17" OZ Superleggera on my Dax.
Rear tyres are 17" 225 x 45
Front are 17" 205 x 40 Thats a Total Diameter of 597mm

See TOYO LINKY for a Tyre size converter.

Because your brackets were bent for 13" wheels?

Get them from Rally Designs or ebay and bend them yourself.

Looks to me that the wheels fit under the brackets fine. (and are the kind sold by MK, I got mine a few months ago)

So I can only imagine you're using MKs standard wings, which I found surprisingly narrow - they just fit over my tyres, but just don't work once the brackets are involved. (If you want I'll get some photos, just need to find the wings )

ISTR there's a newer MK cycle wing that's a slightly different shape.
