Hello,
Im fresh into the mini world and have my eyes set on a mini moke. The plan is to buy a moke and start working on it over the winter/colder months get it ready for summer bla bla bla...

My question is, will 13x7 performance minilites fit under standard mini moke guards/wheel arches? i would like the extra dish of the 13x7 over the 13x6 or x5.5 rim, but i dont want to go welding on extentions onto the guards (i feel it would look a bit off).

Any help ill make my nights sleep a better one :D

-thanks

13x7s come very close to the guard but still sit under.
Even with spacered drums on the rear they still sit under.

They are a very hot look on a Moke.

Search "Spiro" for some ideas.

Yer you won't have a problem on a "big wheel" Moke. Most Moke's are big wheel Moke's, so that shouldn't be a problem either.

Thanks for the compliments on Spiro :)

They will sit slightly out of the guards, i know, i got pinged for it in Spiro two days ago.

They will also scrub slightly on the rear shocks with hard cornering, not really a problem but worth mentioning..

P.S. you guys did an awsome job,and the 24 odd pages of post's didnt once drag on, i couldnt walk away from my comp,ha ha. top stuff people 8) 8)

Mokes can look good with anything up to 15 inch wheels under the guards.

My personal preference, however, is to see a Moke dropped low down over wiiiiide 10's.. just like this

Mmmmmmm..... lots of dish please 8)
