I don't think they will mate, smallest size you can fit is 14" IIRC :)

Take your 14" steelies and get them band welded...

14x10J steels!!

yeah banded steels are :cool: ...just think they're pretty expensive for what they are though.

Browsing german Ebay there seems to be some right bargains, anyone bought from ebay.de before?
