Wheels choices
Hi all, I want to change my wheels from the original rs2000 4 spokes to minilite type wheels, first question is can you go to 8x13 size with standard axle and arches? And if so what tyre can you get away with? Thanks

I fitted 7x15 comp ml to my mk1 and they rubbed badly with a standard back axle. I have since chnaged to a narrowed atlas and they fit nicely but i doubt even now i could fit 8x13. Eric on here managed it but his atlas is an inch shorter than mine again mk1 though. Depends how nicely you want it to sit.

Re: Wheels choices
7 x 13 et0 with no bigger than 205 60's are your best bet on std arches, or there are some 195 50 13 and 45 tyre choices.

8's may fit on the back with narrowed axle but will look daft on the front.
'68 1100 Deluxe-bog stock soon to be a twincam rep.

I seem to remember did burton power have an mk2 rs2000 with capri x pack rims on it (were they 8inch) and it looked like it was a jacked up SUV as they stuck out from the arches on both ends.

Nothing worse than a car with wheels that are too wide.
