Morris Minor Owners Club

well got new tyres on today and they fit with a bigger gap then i thought [frame][/frame][frame][/frame]

just need to finish polishin the front

Sweet,you can't go wrong with slotmags.

nice one mate

i know but i need to roll the edge of the wing, i can just get my hand under and they slighly stick out but look AMAZIN

Do you have center caps for them?
What size are your tyres ?

Looking sweet Tom, slots are the way forward . I may have more of a problem with wide wheels than you [frame][/frame]

I am working on some bolt on wide rear wheel arches, see here http://www.mmoc.org.uk/viewtopic.php?f= ... 5&start=30 PM if you're interested

i ordered some but dont seem to be right so i might be able to make fit , and they are 175/65/14 (lower profile) but might go wider next time

seems to go quicker and grip is amazin just got to watch i dont snap a half shaft

front tyres will be 165/70/13

I have 215x70x14 on the back of mine.
Mind you i've had to kick out the wing by about 3 inches(thats 7.5 cm for the kids) [frame][/frame]

Is that 215's on Minor stud pattern and studs. Might be a tad marginal.

I agree - Slots look good....

They do

i dont really want widened wings so they do stick out slight but not enought to hurt anyone , fronts should be going on next weekend

I liked them on my car for a while but know I've had enough and have gone back to the original wheels

I love slots - but couldn't find any , so settled for wellers instead .

How are you polishing them ? Because my arms are worn out polishing mine by hand! Is there a small ' polishing mop' for this sort of job that can be driven by a leccy drill ???
