[XLR8]

dont think they will fit.......post AU wheels dont fit pre AU.


there is a place in sydney has 2nd hand AU2 XR8 wheels for $2000 with tyres. they usually advertise in the Trading Post

This has been discussed before and if I remember correctly they will not fit.

I also moved this thread to the right area.

XR wheels

Simply No.

They'll sit in too far. You'll need to get adapters made. Hence the reason everyone's not using them. Up to EL will just bolt on.

yep thats right. the holes will line up but the offset of the rim is different. Shame with all these nice wheels geTtiNG aroUnd.

Yes they will fit herrod sells adapter plates to get the right offseti think there about $800 for a set of 4.
To prove the point here is a pic of my car before i brougt it with a set of herrod wheels pre au but with adapter plates wala!

Bloody nice Pic!!!!!!

so that was $800 just for the adapters??

 

[WINGED]

Yep $800 for adapters unfotunatly I did'nt buy the wheels with the car because i could not afford the $$$ at that time.
It was the first pre AU with the herrod wheels the gaurds also had to be flared.

$800!!
I heard that all you need to do is have a set of 7.5mm spacers machined up and you are pretty well right, not sure if you might need longer wheel studs, that could justify the cost.
Yes i know that this is bad etc for a number of reasons, and that is why i haven't done it on my XR, but thought i would share what i have had been told.

on the topic, but off the point a little, wheels made for 'X' series cars dont fit 'E' series. 'X' series hubs are smaller...
