Title: Deep dish wheels
Post by: brett_f on February 28, 2008, 04:04:14 PM
Hi gang, need some help! Thinking of putting on some deep dish mags in which the overall length of a standard diff is 4" inches to wide. Is there a diff that will take 13 inch wheels and is 4 inches shorter that will fit up? its holden pattern (of course) or does any one know what the cost would be to get the diff and axels shortened(Melbourne-Vic). Thanks for any help

You can try LJ torana...cant remember off hand how much shorter it is but i think it gives you a few inches...

I have a Torana housing here with axles - It has had FC mounts welded in and the trailing arms removed - it is all set up to mount into FE FC.  Asking price is $150

I'm in Hoppers Crossing. I was planning on running 7 inch wide rims on my FE with the diff but not going to get around to it.
