Im in a pickle.. 3stud alloys

[Russon]

Driving a 1.1sx, MOT is due in november. Now here's the problem - 2 of my tyres have some underinflation wear and will need to be changed before my MOT. Since i need new tyres anyway i'm thinkin about going all round and just buying some alloys with tyres, but finding some 3stud 13inchers is proving quite a pickle. Anyone got any suggestions?

Thanks!

3 stud alloys are hard to come by mate... keep an eye on ebay though is your best bet...

theres quite a few on ebay but most of them are 15" wheels.

yea i used to have a 1.0 saxo for my first car and that was 3 stud, i got a nice set off ebay for about 140, 15".
cant remember the make or model but i see them quite often. 5 spokes

The only thing with 15" is they're likely to rub the arches. Is it worth hunting down a full set of alloys with tyres or just buy the tyres which need renewing?

They'll be fine unless you car is lowered...

I have 15"s on my 3 stud, they rub when you turn corners or go over bumps if you have people sitting in the back. Even with 3mm spacers! Its not lowered yet either.

It'l be a bitch trying to find 13" alloys, so you might be better just getting the new tyres and maybe spray your steelies white, that looks good. ;)
