13" wheels on 1.4 Furio?

[hankhendrix]

Hello all,

Noob here and when I say noob I mean a noob to cars in general.

I've got a battered 1.4 Furio and it has 4 spaceless 14" alloys on. I have 4 x 13" steelies from a 1.1i that I would like to change the alloys with but I'm not sure if they would fit.

It looks like they might fit on the rear axel but there seems to be a brake caliper or something quite close to the rim on the front axel.

Anyone know for sure before I remove a front wheel?

P.S: I'd happily swap my 4 x 14" alloys for 4 x 14" steelies. I also have 5 x 13" steelies I would swap.

Just try it on if you have them sat there!! How long does it take to remove a wheel? All of about 45seconds?

99% sure they should though as Furio brakes are probs same as the 1.1's.

Erm, are the 1.1 steel rims 3 stud or 4 stud?

You will have a lot of arch gap!

I need to break off the locking wheel nuts so it's gonna be a pain!

Is there anything else I would need to do to my car if I managed to get the wheels on?

Put trims on the steelies

Nah, I prefer the "I dont give a shit about my car" look. lol
