A tip on tyres if i may.Find the 12" tyres and get them in your hot little hands before you do anything.I have scoured the earth looking for the sort of tyres your looking for without success,including the mini guys,lots of whom i know well.The size and profile we want is NLA but you may be lucky with some old stock somewhere.

On the wheels,thats easy but you need 8 12" wheels to make 4 at 6.5" for memory by having the wheels split at the widest part of the rim section and having both wide sections re welded together by a wheel specialist,you can also alter the offset at this point.The wheels are also still legal as no strip has been added and you only have a single weld,plus the centre which is not counted.

Sorry let me explain my unintelligible response. I explained my situation to the shopkeeper and he said these wheels were within specs for my situation.
For example, they are designed to work on the yamaha rhino, among other things. The rhino is 500kg's, can carry a load of 200kg's plus two people. This is more than a kb10. These wheels are claimed to be 35% stronger than those standard wheels also.

Also by 'getting', I meant in the process of getting, I am just waiting on a clarification email. Sorry my previous posts sounded a bit dimwitted.

Hey there, ddgonzal, where did you get the 165/55 12". Thats a pretty low profile for that size. I once asked for low profile on 14" rims and the tyre shop man said the lowest profile for a 14" is 60.
