This is probably a question thats been done to death but a quick squint through the post turns up a negative result.
A few years ago (when I was obviously much younger and a little more reckless) I really considered fitting the 6r4 kit to my MK1 Y reg 3 door metro (yep, still got it - it was / is my very first car).
The things that I thought about were obviously the wheel size to fill the arches and the method of re-fueling since the rear box arches cover up the fuel flap.
The wheels need to be at least 16 inchs dia with a minimum aspect of 50 for the tyres just to fill the space - with one hell of a negative offset (I have wheel stud exteners that coul provide the extra track).
Turning wheels that are much larger is obviously going to put much more strain on the diffs and gear box internals and what would be the effect of such a larger track on the suspension since the moment of force has been increased since the distance from the fulcrum has been increased?
What are the thoughts?
