| Notes | Body modifications are necessary to fit these wheels. Wheels which are larger than the standard size might not fit into the spare wheel compartment. | This wheel gets very close to the rear arches and has been known to touch when any weight is applied to the rear of the vehicle. We would recommend a fitment check and modifications to the body work may be necessary. Wheels which are larger than the standard size might not fit into the spare wheel compartment. | ||||
| Notes | |||

| Notes | We recommend using our 52mm wooden spinner saver to protect the knock-on caps (spinners) when using a copper and hide hammer. XW5784 & XW5721 : Due to the positioning of the centre in relation to the rim you will require a deep wooden spinner saver Click here for advice on how tight to apply spinners. |
Federal style spinner Requires a spinner spanner to tighten/loosen caps. Click here for advice on how tight to apply spinners. |

| Extra Information | |||
| Other comments | We have heard the BXW715 has been fitted but MWS do not recommend this fitment and would advise against it as clearance is too tight. Always check the history of the vehicle to ensure that there have been no modifications to the running gear. Hubs/splines, spinners and nuts remain the same, unless noted otherwise, regardless of which wheel is fitted. We also stock wire wheel maintenance accessories such as our Cleaning Kit (Refills available), Cleaning Brush, Degreaser and Tyre Foam.
