13" Rims On Ke70??

[LukeAE71]

I have been thinking about putting some 13s on my KE70. Something a bit different.

 

They would be something wide and good offset etc I just wondered if anyone has tried it and if they like it or have some pics??

 

Thanks,

 

Luke

theres a pic of a ke70 sprinter, slant front with boss 13s on it, was my inspiration when i had my 13s, best way to get low imo :) i'll try and hunt it down for you!

Cheers Nick.

 

I was just thinking then though this plan for 13s may not work anyhow not if I want to do a brake upgrade. Not many upgrades are going to fit under a 13" rim.

 

I was thinking something along the lines of the Superlites in 13 x 8 as they have mass proper dish as opposed to the rest of their range. Unfortunately they don't do a 14 in a width or offset I like. Best they do is 14 x 6 :)

yeah, your going to limit brake upgrades. i had 13x7 superlights -7 (i think) on my wagon and they sat bout 1.5inch out on the front

 

mmk couldnt find the rolla i wanted, but pretty sure these are 13s and the dude is on here some where

They make it look like a matchbox car not a real car :)

ive got 13's on mine with very little dish and i think it looks respectable and not over the top

i think 14x7.5 0 offset with slightly stretched tyres are the way to go, twinkytodd had them on his ke70 and they were jizztastic

I have 13x8 -13 MK2 and 13x8 -7 MK1 which I had on my KE70 with 175/60 tyres

 

Sat so very good, and was by far the best looking and handling car I have owned thus far. ground clearance to crossmember was just under 30mm which was a little inpractical though haha. Guards were just on tyre front and rear, front wheels (-13s)only poked 5mm from my rolled guards with tyre just in, rears were flush (could've done with a 5mm spacer but due to the design of the MK1s it wasn't really possible).

 

Sorry I got no pics handy atm Luke

 

I love that TE71 Nick posted up, needs to be a tad lower though. From memory that dude has an enviable collection of 13s.

 

Cheers, Ben.

13 x 8 superlights don't have very much dish, their depth is more in the spokes just like the rest of the superlite range. 13 x 7's are the ONLY superlites with dish, full stop.
