    Default Four pots behind 13" alloys?

    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?

    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.
