well i got myself a rear beam with disks on to do a rear disk conversion and i never thaught to measure up the setup against my wheels. (standard steelies.)

but the car it come off had steelies on 13" aswell

poor polo

so anyways i strip my drums off and stub axles and wack on the new disks stand back admire my work with a well earnt bottle of water. get back to tyding everything up and goto stick my wheels on and they dont fit

the caliper hits the inside rim of the wheel so im stuck i have just waisted 4 hours stripping the old axle down and fitting it to my car.

ive had to put my old drums back on ;( so if anyone has 3 175/50/15 tyres they would like to donate me for a cheap price then ill have them

i know that now but the car i took it off ( see photo) had steels on so i just assumed that they will fit behind my steels. oh well i just wasted 4 hours and have to wait till i find 3 more tyres for my wheels.
