Do any wheels off late model vehicles (14's and above) fit the early model 69 on Capri stud pattern, in either mag or steelie?

They fit at the rear but will hit the strut on the front. You will need to run spacers or have the off set changed.

I have volvo calipers on mine only need 2-3mm washers to get it right. I tried the 13" steel rim on the front and it just touches the caliper, 13" mags would clear no problem. Spewing coz I want to convert mine back to granny spec for that sleeper look lol!

Thank's for the wheel info everyone, but what's the deal with the Volvo brakes? What's involved with fitting Volvo brake calipers to early Capri's? Do they just bolt straight in? What model Volvo's brake are used???
