13" wheels on 1.6 NA?

[Scho]

Just wondering if they will fit?

Going to cadwell next week and my mate has some 13"s with 888's on i might be able to blag.

PCD and offset is all gravy.

Yep should fit fine unless you have big brakes.

Are they a tall profile 888? Assuming they are a similar overall diameter I would expect them to handle the same.

SWEET!

Glad I didn't go for the 1.8 swap afterall!

Not sure what profile they are, he normally runs them on a Polo G40 so i can't see them being too much out.

yep should be fine - make sure you're little 1.6 brakes are up to it tho with the sticky rubber on i.e. decent pads and fluid.

you'll also have the advantage of them looking cool

Looking cool in an mx5 is impossible

I beg to differ. You just aren't trying hard enough

ETA: I did have the help of a skid-pan though

Roof up = less cool. Even if its wet.

I wouldn't worry too much about the brakes round Cadwell - I took mine there and it didn't suffer much. Depending on whose out you'll probably find you can get pretty close to most stuff on cornering speed, but it'll be the straights the 1.6 loses out on. You WILL have a lot of fun though!

I knew someone would say that
It was at Rockingham wet handling course and the water sprays all over the car as well as on the track. If I had the top down I'd have needed a wetsuit
