Mrbus Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Very much doubt that they will. Think 14" might even be a squeeze maybe, especially if you use the stick on balance weights but not sure really I dont know of any Audis running on 13" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moodoo Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I think they will, if you look here, 'costasa' has already done it.... http://forums.mantaclub.org/topic/24394-my-opel-manta-a-19s-luxus-1973/page__st__20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManx Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 (edited) I would agree with the 14" min. I've got a set of these to go onto my Manta once I sort out the calipers, but pretty sure about that Min wheel size of 14". Just the post a minute or to before mine, must say that shows that it is possible Stand corrected Edited February 17, 2011 by MadManx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cam.in.head Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 might not make a difference but those ats were 7j wide ? will the profile be any different inside on a normal size one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 I tried and tested this, disk is carlton 2.2 vented with astra 16v caliber, if the caliber is mounted to the original manta hub, it would make no difference what disk, I tried this setup, with a 8inch wide ATS, the reason a ats fits and a rostyle wont, is that the ats has no steps etc, in the cast of the wheel, from the inside edge of the tyre to the back of the centre of the rim, is flat, it doesnt rise like the rostyle, didnt try a 14 inch GTE rim, but think they would fit? I take it manta A and B hubs are the same? and original brake disks and calibers are the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Carlton 2,2 brakes can run inside a ATS (6, 7 or 8" wide) alloy, but they wont run inside original 13" steel and possible also other 13" rims will have problems.
