What's the smallest wheels that you'd be able to get on a 182?
I can't find anyone running wheels smaller than 15"
Wondering if they'd take a set of 13" steels.

Discs are 280mm up front, so 15" will be the smallest you can go, doubt 14" will fit even with 4 pots which will fit better in the wheel.
swap the brakes over from a base model :scared:
I doubt even the base models from that era had less than 14" minimum as OE though, whether they would have taken a 13" after market wheel I dunno.
What are these? 14's maybe?

Ai. I'm sure there are plenty of examples of this sort of thing out there given what we've seen over the years :D
Actually I guess it's not so unusual to find this in certain motor sports, like the drag strip etc.
I fitted the 8mm thick non vented front disks onto my hillclimber, and the rears I made were tiny (I almost fitted bicycle brakes..).Quote:
