I know this is the exact opposite of what most people want to do, however....
If I had a current model trekking with standard 15" wheels, would 13" steel wheels fit on?
175/80 R13 tyres give the right diameter.
The trekking has 257mm disc rotors, which might allow another 20mm for the calipers. 257+20+20=297mm, 13" is 330mm.
Someone else says 14" alloys just fit on by the skin of their teeth.
Can someone look at a 4x98 13" wheel and measure the internal diameter?
Thanks for thoughts.
I don't even own a trekking but am thinking about it. A friend cracked his newish land cruiser alloy wheels, I'm suspicious of them for off road. The taller tyres on 13" wheels would also give an extra 1" of suspension travel.
I assume the rear drums would have no clearance issues?
