What are you going to about the brakes? Even 14" wheels can clash with the calipers.

we have thought about this but the rules the car has to be built to stipulate 13" wheels, I am now looking to get a larger pcd 5 stud 13" wheel if I can find any westy wheels and make a spacer come new pcd block then they will be away from calipers, but if there were 13" volvo wheels I would only need longer studs and a spacer thats why I asked about volvo. thanks anyway

car we are hoping to build is a classic modified 13" wheels and a Ford V6. but I dont want to go the escort route

I have been running Westminsters for years and have now moved onto Amazon.

I have a mate in Doncaster who will be able to fix you up with 13" Westy wheels. I cant advise if these will clear calipers etc.

Try Keith 01302 858805 for wheels.

Chris.
