Got bit of an issue put my car on its wheels today was hoping to use a set of Dunlop
That I have acquired but they stick out too far I wasn't hoping to use wheel arches
I am using genuine mini fins and have fitted hi Los let me know your thoughts as you can see it just doesn't. Look right

Need to know what size and offset your wheels are

Minifins as in drum brakes on the front ?

pad

Mini fins on the rear wheel size is 10" unsure of the offset will it be stamped on the rim ?

If they're original D1's you won't need to know the offset because they only made one type and they're barely passable with 145 tyres on and S brakes. That's why you see very few on S's and so many on Minis with small brakes. If they're repros I haven't a clue.

Hope this helps.

Yep, they stick out too far. They are barely passable on drums, but whack a set of S disks on and they are out too far.

If you want 165s to fit, track down a set of compomotive multispokes.

Despite my previous post I will say I've had two S's with them on though, not bad on the front if you can get a bit of negative but certainly not ideal as this shows...

Thanks for the reply guys have decided to put steels on I already a set car is running on a discs can adjust the camber but still wouldn't be right to the eye it's a shame I love the d1,so will posting them for sale soon on the forum is a shame as I have a complete set

Chaucer are they 165 tyres in your picture?

Yea they are 165 even with 145 they will stick out didn't really want that look

I have a set of Org. D1s and I have run them though two sets of 145s without flares. Cooper S fronts and super mini fins rear. Let me know what you get for yours as I want to move mine along also. Going for 4.5 S offset minilites with 165s. New power is more than the 145s can stand. Steve (CTR)

Will keep you posted thanks for the info
