Use 14" pintara stockies and get some toyota crown hubcaps or similar, just look on ebay for hubcaps to get ideas.

Hey tyrie

I like you idea about using wheels and hubbies off something else. I cant believe I didnt think of that. If i can find something like that I might ditch the mags, and go for that. It would suit the granny spec look better.

Since I am using a R31 rear axle with standard brakes, I have to go to 14" i am pretty sure since 13" wont fit over the brakes.

Anyone have ideas what datto came with 14" rims that has an old type hubcap??

I get the feeling that 14" is too big for old style rims.

that didnt make sence to me either....sounds like you have 14s on the rear and 12s on the front as 14s dont clear the brakes
that doesnt really work
and you would have to have fairly large brakes for the 14s not to clear

What brakes do you have??
lol I'd rather drive a car with cooling fins trimmed off the calipers than drive a in a rusted out shell.

on a 1k or 1200 12" rims look more in propotion, but on a 120Y they don't look right...

if I groud the caliper I could have 14' alloy rims all round - but I'm not going to have an unsafe car - even a farm hack...

but as 14's fit on the back they will stay there - at lest I get all my stash of 12" rims (about 8 that need new tyres on them)

4 of which are going on The Defect III

if anyone hasn't noticed I'm NOT an lover of 12" rims but I'm not going to drive an unsafe car either!

12" rims with big arse tyres is shocking for handeling aswell

so to keep 12's your gonna loose ability to put decent brakes, ability to get decent tyres to put the power down and have horrible handeling from massive and soft tyre walls that flex all over the joint......

it's gonna be an american car.... all go nothing else

definately get 13's on there at least

plenty of hub craps to choose from

Dont knock 12" rims

I really wanted to keep my 12" rims for the 1k but brakes are the killer so i have to goto 14" to fit the brakes in.

If I could keep them, i would. I love the little donut sized wheels, but then I am not planning the motor of that size, so even if you could, it might not be the best choice anyways.

if i could do it with some stoping power i would im sure some other 120y lovers will back me up on that

really, pretty sure jordan asked me a while ago also

who really wants to run 12s on their car anyway

pigdog it was me who asked you if they fit under 12's
