Hi all,

Tried figuring out how to post pics on this site but have given up even though I thought I was a pretty  puter savy.  Follow my link to the site and you can seee the pics.

Thanks for this info.  I have done a reccie round my dads and my property and come up with 4 x 13'' rims with tyres.  They are all old retread crossplys but look to hold air so they will do the job. The rims have the five stud pattern with breathing gaps in the dish's outer lip, if you know what I mean.  So do you reckon the 13'' s  will do the trick?

Thanks again

Hi all,

I am dragging a barn find FE ute out of a shed this Friday.  It was parked there 26  years ago.  It is an easy drag out with the 4wd and get it on the tandem car trailer.  My question is...the tryres are completely stuffed and I thought to make the job easier I would just fit four old holden rims with inflated tyres on them, so i have found some 14'' and the stud pattern looks the same.  These rims look like 'interceptors" off a commodore and have a largish bag tyres.  The car will only have to go about 30 metres being dragged by a landcruiser (lots easier if it rolls) so I just need to know can I get these onto the ute and will they spin enough to do the job????? Once home I will get a set of tyres on the original wheels.

The car is very straight with little rust.  The paint is faded through showing surface rust streaks, all there and not molested as well.  There is about 4 inches of rat poo on the floor and I have not pulled the bonnet yet but I believe the rat nest is in on the engine.  Will post some pics next week.

PS I don't have a key. Any easy way to get one cut that fits???
