I have a sneaking suspicion that an mx5 won't fit on my trailer :cry:

It should do if the Westfield did.

After all your westfeld's entire back axle assembly was donated by an MX5.

Beauty!

Those wheels might struggle on a 165 trailer, have they got some standard steelies or standard 7" alloys they can chuck on to transport it? Mk2 5 spoke alloys are good and light!

@BCF this 5 spoke wheels are the 15s? Do you know what offset they are.

It's these ones mate. No idea on offset, I'm sure it'll be online somewhere though!

You can get cheap road tyres for 14" rims, we got some UniRoyal RainSport for our 14" steelies for peanuts. Less of an option on semi-slicks though. 

@Ben (bunje) I've got some used semi-slicks in 15" you can have for a tenner a tyre if you like? They're close to the wear bars but will happily do a few trackdays and you can't beat £40 all round!
