fitting 2nd hand roof

[Grizzly]

Yep i know of the Fox rims, I wanted a set of Kei Flights but they dont make them wide enough for what i want.

So are your 16 or 17" at the moment? they look quite big compared to my stock 15" BBs? BTW i think the Black centers look smart!

they are 16s mate an i really like them an would keep them but i don\'t think one of the wheels can be re-furbished coz of the dent.
so how wide can u go on the t2 without doing any work on the arches mate.so are the wheels u wanted japanese then chris.

also if i get the fox rims i would like to get the center powder coated in black as i like the effect

[Grizzly]

I\'m still looking, I know i am after 17x8\'s for the front and 17x9\'s for the rear.

To be honist i\'m not too fussy as long as they have a polished rim and arnt too heavy. So your proberly right i\'ll end up buying from Japan (the after market rims here arnt too good a quality?)

Chris

your rite mate the rims here are pretty bad so i mite end up havin a look in japan to see wot kinda rims they got.
will 17x8 fit wiv no problem

[Grizzly]

Yep, as long as you use 225\'s on the ft  you wont have a prob.

I have a T2 Coupe with 8x18" all round, i have 225/4018\'s on the ft and 245/35/18" on the rear. i dont advise the 245\'s on 8" rims they are a pain in the backside to get on and dont fit nice on the rims (To much overhang).

A guy i know has 235\'s on the Ft and 265\'s on the rear on 17" but i think he\'s got rolled arches.

If you want some advice try to get over 8"\'s on the rear but no more than 9.5" they will come in handy when the power bug bites.

[t2 cabrio owner]

karl

[Grizzly]

Thats what i was going to ask you

I\'ll proberly get in contact with Mazdatrix, they usaly have all that sort of stuff.

I have done one before and it did leak, so when i do mine its getting the full treatment. Fed up with getting wet all the time.

Chris

[t2 cabrio owner]

MMM thats a good one? i\'m not to hot on Wheel offsets etc but i have +38\'s on my Red Fc.

I was told moons ago that it is suposed to be between +35 and +40 but i\'d do a search before taking my word for that.

I\'ve just measured one of my rims and it looks like its 73mm bore size and the Pcd is 114.3 basicly 115mm.


Hi

Conter bore needed for FC is 59.6mm, just had to but spiggot rings for my TII Cab. Standard bore of alloys is 73mm. ive just got my 18x8\'s on, 225/40/18 all round. Fit spot on
