Has anyone successfully fitted hub caps to 15 or 16 inch steels

  1. Hi all,

    I am looking to swap out my 14 inch OEM steels with some later ones - Mini 16 inch are looking a possibility and a guy relatively local to me has a set for sale with 195/60x15 tyres (although I need to check the load rating on the wheels & the tyres).

    I would only want to fit these wheels if i can also fit OEM hubcaps (well, probably the baby moon prototype bay style ones).

    Just wondered if anyone had successfully done this, probably using splitty (& prototype bay?) style hubcap clips.

    Piccies would be very helpful.

    Thanx.

    I’ve got baby moons on my 15” 356 Steelie reps.
     
  3. thanks Baysearcher - are the 356 steelies quite wide?

    And aren't they only available in wide 5 - 5x205?

    I do not have a narrowed beam & am fitting dropped spindles (which push the track out by 10mm) so am fighting against a large offset.

    Yep, only wide 5 so they’re on adaptors. Probably won’t work great with dropped spindles.
