You can bolt Sprint alloys on, but without some re-engineering, you run the risk of front end grip issues, and bump steer. Dependent on the car, you may also run into rear arch fouling issues.

The Green/Blue 1300's seen in the last issue of Dolly Mixture are running Rover 100 series alloys, which have the correct offset for the 1300, with additional width.

The blue car on the lattice alloys runs 3mm spacers on the front for ball joint clearance insurance.

3/8th wheel nuts are available to suit these rims.
