How are the Bay projects coming along?
rekka:
Thanks Hansk. I've increased the centre bore on a few sets of Audi and Mercedes rims over the years. Not a big job.
Hansk:
Yes but to have these steel wheels properly machined would not have been cost effective in this case . So I went red neck back yard , now they fit ... but can never be balanced again , plus I'm pretty sure the wheel has been weakened somewhat . I can live with this but would not recommend it to anyone .
rekka:
I think you can balance the wheel and rotor/hub together as the bore in that will still be in the right place. Problem solved.
Hansk:
True but the other issue with these is the bolt holes are up off the surface of the rotor more and probably should have longer studs . I agree with Geoff , mercedes wheels would be better. I think in the long run I would go with one of the 27/8.50/14's LT tires out there on stock wheels. Same outer dia. as these.
Hey Pittwagen , what winter tires did you go with? Mine is also my daily driver rolling project.
pittwagen:
These are Hercules 185R14 C. Nice tall skinny tread. Got them out of their warehouse in Toronto a couple of months ago.
