Title: Will these fit?
Post by: 90sam on August 11, 2007, 21:45:34

Just a quick question!
Will these rims fit my 90 with a rear drum braked axle i doubt they will but they seem cheap and i've seen some on a 90 before.

just take em to an engineering company and get them to machine the backs so the 6 hub bolts clear, should only cost about 40 or 50 quid.

yer, it does, i used to just get a silver spray and blow the hub cap over before i put the wheel on.
mind you wheel spacers are only  120 quids a set these days arent they, so that is perhaps the easiest option, in the days when they were 350 quid a set, you had to go about things a bit differently!

And don't foregt to inform your insurance company (non-standard parts).
My current insurers were happy to cover my nice new alloy wheels for no extra cost as long as they were fitted with locking wheel-nuts but spacers would have increased the premium by 25%.
