what if any 13" wheels fits mk1 mx5, i'm looking for 8" if pos. jon

I'm thinking the Mk1 has four studs. At a 100mm PCD. Vauxhaul wheels should fit. If they're 5 studs, they'll be 5x114mm so look for any Jap fitment stuff but I doubt there'll be much on a 8x13". You could get some skinny steel ones and get them banded?

ETA:Check the bore size as I think the Vauxhall are a 56.6mm and the MX5, a bit smaller. Nothing a stepped spacer wouldn't fix.....

et50 4x100 std fitment. Easy answer is havent found any so far! well, apart fom uber rare vaux fit alleycats.

Banded steels are totally legal.

However, like any modifications, if the mod causes and accident then you're in trouble!

IIRC, Kieth at Scarborough Racing Developements had some wide VX rims in stock. Try him here: http://www.scarbro-racing.co.uk/

if its 4x100 fitment your after also checkout retro VW rims there are various versions that may suit

They are 4x100 with an et of 38 on a 6.5j rim. now im running 195.50.15 on road tyres, going to have a go sprinting & i've been told there's more choice of tyres with 13". Jon
