Post by: Stewy on August 03, 2011, 08:16:53 PM Hi FE 4 ME,
You might need to be a bit more specific with your setup. If you are going standard kingpin front end with drum brakes, or ball joint with disc. Standard rear end or not? I cant help with sizes, but you can never have to much info. Cheers Stewy 8) Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: FE 4 ME on August 03, 2011, 08:21:25 PM Thankx Stewy...
ive got a HR Disc front end and i assume a standard rear drum brakes...i was hoping maybe 14" mags would go on without rubbing on standard gaurds Hope that helps cheers FE 4 ME Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on August 03, 2011, 08:58:42 PM I've got a HR front end, LH discs and calipers, HR Banjo rear.
HK rims front with 185/50 tyres, and rear modified HK rims 14x8 235/60 tyres. Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: FE 4 ME on August 03, 2011, 09:09:24 PM Thankx Stinky,
so 14" mags fit ok, now when im on the hunt for alloy mags i can at least throw 14" into the mix, we all know how hard this type of stud pattern mags are to find.. FE 4 ME Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on August 03, 2011, 11:29:08 PM The stud pattern is easy enough to find if you look, there is post elsewhere on cars that share the early holden PCD.
Watch the offsets and tyre sizes too. The bigger the mag the smaller the profile tyre needed to keep the diameter the same, there are online calculators that can work this out for you. Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: FE 4 ME on August 04, 2011, 02:37:34 PM Yet again you have helped me Stinky with your advise, is there a website you know of that has these calcs ? also what offset would my front and rears have Stinky ??
thankx again and thankx in advance FE 4 ME ;D Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on August 04, 2011, 03:08:08 PM You'll need to determine your own required off-set sorry. Start with a wheel that fits and then get measuring.
Here's a link to a tyre size calculator - http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: Ol_Girl_58 on August 04, 2011, 03:57:57 PM (http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff271/Ol_Girl_58/dragway.jpg)

Post by: Hobbo on August 05, 2011, 10:05:45 AM Hi fellow Fe/Fc lovers, I also am chasing mags for my Fe, I can get Volvo 15x6.5 factory mags at the right price, does anyone know if they will fit and clear the front guards etc? I have std HR disc brake front end with EH diff and rear brake drums. The tire choice and price is much better than 13' !

Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: perth_ute on August 15, 2011, 02:21:36 PM running with out any issues and past WA licensing:
Front - HR front end with HR disc - 15x6 and 205x55x15 Rear - HR diff with drum brakes - 15x8 and 225x50x15 Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: paddyfc58 on August 15, 2011, 05:05:40 PM Hi perth_ute
What type of mags, is it lowered, any pics thanks Paddy Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: Simo on August 15, 2011, 08:06:28 PM Hey MAF
What size are the mags you want to sell mate? Simo Title: Re: The Right Size Mags to use ???? Post by: perth_ute on August 16, 2011, 11:03:52 AM have a couple of pics in the projects folder. Using pursuit rims, about 20-50 each then had the center changed to HR stud pattern and the offsets changed along with the width for 70 each. Tyres were 150 front and 220 rear. Hope that helps! The ideas was a cheap man's drag way solution until more funds. I think dragway pro-lite would be about 1400 for a set. It looks great with 15 and my opinion keeps the ages of the car.
