   Straight fit, but mine are currently stuck to the hubs
   
   So make sure you put some copper grease on the there when you fit them

    A drum beam is slightly narrower than a disc beam so you may find some issues with rubbing (as you will see on two of the tyres on my old wheels ) , also you may find some rubbing when on full lock, not a massive issue but a few mm halfords spacers will remedy this

    The failed rear beam has added some extra rubbing
    
    Only realised yesterday that the front and rear wheels have different tread patterns? lol

    i had 205s on my oug a while ago standard height was fine but rubbed on full lock i think its just the tyre profiles though so if your tyres are knackered better off changing them to lower profile than buying spacers
