Re: help, rims/brakes
Whats the offset of the rims?
All rims have different offsets, the centre of the rim is welded in a certain place depending on the application it was destined for.
Depending on offset callipers can rub on he rim centre.

I hate signatures

Pretty sure that Lovegroves in Ellis street have got one of them in bits- try them

i tried on a 16x8 @ neg28 and it was steel, the 15x8 was the same internal size just a larger bead by the looks, its not the inside of face hitting its the valley of the rim itself
know anyone whos fitted steel rims to a rzn185
maybe the diesels have small 2 pot brakes ive seen a kzn on trademe, and tintin but there both kzn
mines the 2.7 dohc petrol (3rz)
maybe i could drop down to smaller brakes but need the braking power for towing the car+trailer
much appretiated guys
