You can fit 7.5 inchers on with an anglia axle or a high ride height

As Gaz said i had these on my Mk1 Mex see pictures was running Anglia Saloon Rear axle , The van Axle is a little longer , You will Struggle with rear brake drums as they seem to rub , so may have to get disc conversion , I had to space the 7.5 out and there was still plenty of room , 8s would go under easy enough with plenty of clearance aslong as you use a good tyre size , there was plenty of room on the inner arch aswell

 

Hope this helps

 

Ohhh the noise of WPE powered All Steel Pre-xflow yes pre in a mk1 mex hehe
