Right i may have sourced some new wheels for the green xe, they're 6x13 with a 30mm offset (not too bothered about the latter)
Anyone know if there's a four pot kit out there to fit 13's? if so where from?
Oh and what size tyre shall i use for that euro look? :thumb:

175 / 50 / 13 flavour worked quite well on a Golf on 13 inch Revolutions which I saw last summer. I've just checked Mytyres.co.uk and they do Yokohama A539 flavour tyres for about 45 quid a piece (bearing in mind its an unusual size)

Try http://www.hispecbrake.co.uk/ they have a nice range of calipers. I'm sure I seen some very compact ones on there.

Hi-spec can fit a 280mm disc behind a 13" wheel with their race spec ally caliper. This is obviously very tight on clearance though and very wheel/application specific, best to give them a call.

I'd use 185/55 tyres like from a Reanault R5 GT Turbo.

I think its only Nankang that do them now.

John, please DO NOT buy from Hi-Spec, there is a wesite detailing the horror stories from previos customers.

Cheers for the help guys, i think i'll give rally design a ring, chers for the link rich.:thumb:
Tom, ta for that, i'll go and have a look at that now,:thumb:

Craig 185/55's are mahoosivelol. i'm after sumat euro ish, and summat that will not foul the arches.

Danny b, cheers for that, but i've had a quick peek on a couple of veedub forums today, and i really need to be running 7j rims for that size, mine are unfortunately only 6j.:(

ok i've ordered a cheap 175/60/13 today, it'll turn up tommorow. At least i can send it back if it doesn't look right. Will try and get some pics too.

It would seem the owner needs anger management/customer service courses.
