Morris Minor Owners Club

Hello all,When I bought my Pickup, it came with13" wheels, with really low profile tyres which didn't really fill the arches very much, I suppose that I could lower it but don't want to end up with no suspension travel. On the other hand, I had a Minor van, with 15" wheels, which rubbed the arches, so I suppose the answer is new 14" Minilites & tyres. Or do 13" with more sensible tyres look OK?
Any advice is appreciated.

15's with 5506 60 section fit well. Your van must have lowered or the wheel offset incorrect for them to rub the arch. We fit 15's with our K series ,and more and more requests are being made for these once people have seen them. In my opinion 132's look wa y too small even with a decent profile. They are also no good if you have fitted a Fiat lump as the sump ground clearance is too limited. 15's look great with the car at standard or 11/2" lowered ride height.

That should have read 55 or 60 section......

In my opinion 132's look wa y too small

and I guess that was: Ø13" look way too small

Thanks Ray, you are correct, thats what happens when you type with one finger, in a hurry, sorry for any confusion.

well the bog standard is 14"

I want some 15" wheels but I cant seem to find any with 4" PCD, they are all 100mm which dont fit

these cobras r 13" , and look ok i think

What size tyre have you got then SR?, If I ever change my rims, I'd want a tyre which is readily available, like 175/70R13, which was fitted on a lot of VW golf Mk II among others

hiya onne,185 70 13,fantastic looking moggy my friend

thank you... I'm still on 145/80R14 btw, which are getting sparce now. Never come across that size of tyre though. Your cars look great too! How's the 2dr going?

sloooooooooowly, got one chasiss leg and engine tie plate on ,waiting for f.floorpan, then its outside for the double rollover

slow is also progress eh! Is it a series II or a 1000?

1955 s. 2, gonna have black grill like u, cobra alloys with black centres/ally rims, maybe lowered a bit, steve

Cool, what are you going to do with the rear indicators? I still need an idea as to where to place them. Black grill shouldn't be that way originally I heard, but I like my black...

gonna get some from a moped or similar to bolt under the rear bumpers ,at the front changing side light for domed traveller indicator/orange lens

I have got some of those white lenses, either the L594(domed) or the L488(flat) lenses. If you are going to the national, I can bring em along

got some already thanks mate,steve
