Hi i was just wondering if these fit straight on to a 1200 with disk brake frond end and also what profile tyre i should use if i get some THANX Appsy1

Have a little play with this tyre size calculator/ comparitor. The diameter of the original 1200 cross ply tyre was about 575mm. The closer you can get to this figure, the less dramas you will have with rubbing on the footwell, restricted turning circle & rubbing on the upper edge of the guard.

These wheels are 5-1/2" wide with good offset & there are quite a number of people who use them to good effect.
From a cost & effectiveness standpoint, they are a good choice.

195 /50 /15 will put you on the mark.

I thought the question was more to the point of 'will the TRX mags fit on the 120Y without a spacer'.

yes dat180 that is what i meant sorry for any confusion and THANKS for the replys Appsy1

simple answer being no

I thought that there were two questions in a single sentence, & I responded to one of them.

Oh, my bad, sorry Dodgeman.
The caliper in the 120Y struts is an offencive piece of metal. Very few mags bolt straight onto them, but I can't say anything for TRX mags.

The usual fix is to fit new pads to the calipers as this will push the outer edge of the frame as far out as it is going to go & mark the part that protrudes past the wheel mounting flange of the hub with some chalk, or whatever.

Next, adjust the dimention of the caliper plate by surgicly removing only the offending material with a thermal trimmer. [Gas axe] Finish off the edge with a right angle grinder & a file if necessary to ensure that no unsightly marks remain to offend the eye.
At this point it would be relevant to say that the surgery should be performed by a most competant person with a surgical instrument in good working condition to minimise tissue scaring [of the plate] & minimise the cleanup work afterwards.

Excise 'only just' enough material to get the job done.

Not that this was done to fit my wheels you understand, but I hear tell that others have done this with good results.

can you get spacers for them???

I threw a pair on this arvo and noticed they are rubbing against the strut a bit... But seem to clear everything else...

Haven't tried turning the wheel yet which might cause some new problems... The tyres are 195 55 R15 i think....


Is there a spacer that you could put on for a quick fix
