Title: tyres and rims Post by: kelnic on September 08, 2008, 09:06:50 AM i have an fc which currently runs 13"x6" rims and 205x13 tyres all round.i have to change these rims/tyres back to a standard size for the club rego to comply. i know i have to run 13"x4.5" rims and i believe i can buy new rims from ROH that the same as standard rims, does the new ROH rims have the 3 lugs on them for the hubcaps to lock onto?
what is the best tyre size in radial tyres that would be the same as the conventional tyres? can i get white wall tyres in this size? or can i still buy the original size conventional tyres? cheers scott Title: Re: tyres and rims Post by: Rod on September 08, 2008, 06:38:17 PM Hi Scott,
Please refer to these threads where I have gone through a similar situation. http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,13668.0.html http://fefcholden.org.au/forum/index.php/topic,13621.0.html I hope it is of help.

Further to what Scott has advised, one thing about current ROH trailer rims to HR pattern: I bought some 2 years ago, they have 3 lugs, BUT..... the lugs are not formed properly, are slightly bigger and don't have pronounced 'resting' groove behind (read hubcaps are very tight) and FE-FC hub cabs 'pop' off.... I know I lost my hub caps. They need the lugs built up to create a lip. Currently I am using 'added pop rivet heads' because my rims were painted and on the car, however a better solution would be 'welded on' heads etc. Geoff_K |
