Title: Mags Post by: spanner on December 03, 2008, 06:41:22 PM I want to buy a new set of Mags for the van. It has standard early stud pattern with a HR DB front end.
Is it possible to get 14" or maybe 15" under the guards or would I have to stick to 13". Having asked that, what would be available in the old stud patten. Looking for something shiny/ chromey and 4 or 5 spoke. Can anyone save me some legwork so that when I go into the dealer I have a bit of an idea what I'm after.

The problem I have with the hotwires on the van at the moment is that the offset is wrong on the front and I have a spacer fitted to stop it rubbing. Not ideal so a new set seems like the go. A larger Dia rim may get it over the top ball joint where it is catching but I'm hoping I don't create a problem somewere else. Wheels and tyres are not something I'm to clued up on. Graham |
