Tried and Tested 13" wheel setups NB8A

Postby Rasputin » Sun Mar 30, 2014 10:16 pm

Can't seem to find any 13" wheel setups for the NB8A.

Will be wrapped in AO48 tyres.


Does anybody know of tried and tested 13" setups with possible pictures?

Cheers!

Dan.

My understanding is 13" just don't fit.

I think people have got 13s on na6 brakes but not anything later.

Which also begs the question of why?

Previous owner spent $500 replacing NA6 brakes before I bought my car, if you want to swap brakes...

Some 14's still fit over NB8A brakes, no chance with 13's.

I have 13x8's over NB8A brakes on my NA-6, no reason they wouldn't fit an NB8A.

They're called V2 Competition Drag wheels. 13x8 +20, mine are wrapped in 205/60-R13 Federal 595 SS tyres.

You have to make sure the stick on wheel weights aren't inline with the caliper though XD they're a close fit.
