Bad luck on the accident and I'm glad to hear you are ok (albeit with a few scratches).

The wheels and tyres should fit, although if your A was on leaf rear springs, they will give a wider track on a B (they'll stick out more)

Have a look through the suspension section for ideas on lifting a B.

Eh? a "B" series on an "R" plate? Are you sure?
