Reliant robin wheels

[bellybug]

Is it possible to fit 6x12 mini wheels on a reliant robin I no 10in wheels fit but I want something a bit bigger.
Cheers danny

Robin's originally came with full profile 10" tyres. If you fit 12" wheels with lower profile tyres then the actual size will probably be similar to original.
12" steel Mini wheels can be got for pence so what about getting one just to try if nobody can give a definitive answer and then you will know if the intended (alloys ?) will fit.

No because a reliant robin has 3 wheels and a mini has 4

I would think that on the rear you would be ok having seen robins with 10x6 wellers before, but the front wheel i would imagine needs to stay stock to ensure the it remains central to the car

I'm sure I've seen a robin with a minilite on the front before. But as above, I wouldn't bother changing the front one, just put a quality tyre on it.

12" Mini have the wrong offset to go straight on the rear, the tyre will hit the spring before the wheel is on. I have used them and had to fit spacers. I had 155 70s on to fill the arches.
Cutting out and rewelding the centres would be my choice now.

I think Hillman Imp wheels go straight on but its a long time ago so couldn't be sure.

I always left the front standard although I suppose you could go fatter if you keep it central.

imp wheels are the right PCD and are a lower offset than disc braked mini spec 12's.

You can get 12x6's which are extra deep offset that should keep you clear of the rear springs

They went up to 12" wheels in the 90's with the MK2 Robin. As already stated the offset is lower than that of a Mini, so spacers would be required.

10's would still be my choice.

You can fit a different size to the rear only no problems, but of course, your spare wheel will only fit one end!
