RFX 13" WILL fit but they need to be Group A rally wheels, not the cheap road wheels! They WON'T fit over rear discs.....

i dont understand what your saying

i didnt know there was any difference in the wheels

and why would they not fit over rear discs if they fit over bigger front ones?

Rear discs are bigger than 16v front discs.

Rear discs are bigger than 16v front discs.

serious? do u mean how far out the caliper sits not the actual disc itself

Rear discs are 260mm and the caliper sticks out more than the fronts, fouling on the spokes. Most rally cars are using drums, custom rear beam (usually golf calipers for more clearance) or AP/Wilwood calipers that are specifically made to fit under Group A Wheels.

Revolution make the wheels for motorsport use, Group A, which are HARDER, IE stronger than road wheels, for when you hit things on a rally, like rocks and kerbs. The Group A wheels have more clearance on the back of the spokes.

Group A RFX's have a different offset aswell, think thet are 35et

13" steels or alloys wont fit over the 2l 16v brakes of a astra GTE
minimum wheel to go on is 14" steel or bigger ie 15"

[novamadman]

the car will be running 16v brakes on the front and mk3 golf gti on the rear so it should be ok?
