Metro Turbo 4 Pots...
Turbo Mini Forums

My car has metro turbo 4 pots and metro hubs on it. At the moment it has 13" wheels with 4 knackered tyres. Because i'm poor and need to get the car through the MOT, i can't afford to spend over £200 on new tyres just yet for them. So i bought 4 cheap 12" rims with good tyres from the bay.

Tried fitting them at the weekend and they have smaller centres to the 13"s so won't fit over the 4 things around the outside of the castle nut.

What's the best way to sort this? Buy a set of standard mini hubs without these and bolt them to the metro discs or to grind the metro ones down?

grind the metro drive flanges down dude.

grind the metro ones down, the ofset is different on mini ones.

cool, i take it i have to remove the hubs to grind them down? Can't do it in situ...

erm, i guess you could do it in situ, just watch the sparks on the paint.

if you (or any one else) are interested i have a new pair of uprated metro flanges (en21) with no lugs that I bought by mistake, 0pen to offers before i ebay them.

When i looked at them to grind them, i was a little worried about damaging the studs.

Cheers for the replies guys. :)

although be difficult with the studs in i'd guess!

oh yeah,

forgot the studs!!
