oioi Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 and nobody noticed that the tread patterns are going in different directions on the photos? im surprised i did, cos i had an elsie driver point out to me that my fronts were on the wrong way round. ive only done 5000 miles like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWatson Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Right, going to go for the black ones. I need to change two of the wheels for ET23 for the rear as they are all ET38. Anyone interested in two ET38 wheels, will be a good start for a full set, save you a bit of money. They will fit the front no problem. Say £120 for the two they are £100 each. So buy two more that's a total of £320 for the wheels plus £120 for 4 Toyo tyres, that makes a cheap set of new wheels and tyres for £440. Better than £575 new Confused?? Anyone interested in the Monza's £425. £575 new. Only done 500 miles. Graeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatman Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 15mm spacers would be far less aggro, as long as your studs are long enough to accommodate the larger offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWatson Posted July 14, 2004 Author Share Posted July 14, 2004 Blatman, That's what I thought. I currently run 15mm spacers with my current wheels. I have the proper ones that acutally support the centre of the wheels too. Problem is even with 64mm?? studs, the bolts doesn't completely thread onto the stud, there is around 0.5mm left on the nut. Do you think that would be okay? Can you get longer, perhaps 70mm? Other question is, is it possible to get black nuts from anywhere, rather than silver.

Blatman Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Adequate nut engagement is equivalent to 1.5 times the diameter of the stud. So a Ford 12mm stud needs to go 18mm in to the nut. If you have 5mm left of useful nut before the stud comes out teh end of it, then you have plenty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWatson Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 If I do pass on the Pro Race wheels, the guy is looking for £400, would anyone be interested at that price? Brand new with 205/50 15VR Toyo's. I will probably buy them off him then if I can't sell the Monza's I'll sell the Pro Race. P&P would be around £30 if needbe.
