Any idea if I can fit 13" wheels to my car?
I am running 15" wheels with a 38 offset and a 108 PCD and 195/45 tyres.
I am thinking of going to 13" wheels and fitting some R888's for sprinting.
Any idea if they'll fit to my Luego that has standard Sierra based hubs etc?

Mk 1 Sierras had 13" wheels, steel admittedly no alloys - can you borrow one to check?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Cool never realized that, might have to look out for a set of 13" steels for track-day tires..

Steve, I am going to buy some 13" Team Dynamics 1.2s for my Indy, which has Sierra suspension, with drums at the back.
MAC 1 motorsports (who I'll buy them from) assured me that these would fit, so assuming you are running rear drums they should fit yours too.
Not all alloy wheels are the same though so not all will fit.

13 inch rims don't fit over the calipers on my rear sierra disk setup. I think they go on the drums though.

I'm running 13" Team Dynamics on my MK Indy with Sierra rear calipers on the back. Same PCD and off-set as yourself. The only issue I have
had is the caliper springs fouled the inside of the wheels. I had some special springs made to over come this problem. I still have a few springs left
if you go this way. Please U2U
