hellnback Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Got my 7" centreless AG rims and another set of skinny's sitting in the garage now. Will measure up backspace/offsets over the weekend and get them welded up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't remember exactly but I think they were about $450. Then another $100 for another set of skinny's. Then 2x 24 packs to get them cut out and welded. 4 cans of warehouse "appliance white" spray paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another prob with the VG wheels is they've got the 4 Lug centres which take the larger hub cap, so you won't be able to run your VC caps.

grunta Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 wow almost isnt worth getting 2" bands welded in.... yea i know , tiz a bummer but hopefully i can find some ok condition VG caps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hellnback Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Yeah something a bit different, wasn't sure how they were going to look but got inspiration/motivation after seeing Grunters rims. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUNAMUCK Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Ive sacked a few vals by welding up and redrilling the holes in the front spring hanger to enable bolting it back in upside down. But Ive found that this lifts up the pinion snubber flange, and causes that stopper to hit lots.Best fix is tilting wedges. The dowel is long enough to still loacte the spring pad on the diff through the wedge. Plus the wedge gives a sweet 6mm of extra slam. I think theres a pic of mine in my VG thread. (Fuck knows where that is though) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Fuck knows where that is though) Got heaps of room with the snubber (unloaded mind you) - will see how it goes... if it's too close I'll just take it off! Pinion angle seems to be good as well and no vibs coming through. If i need to adjust the diff angle I'll probably just machine the top of the blocks. I'll get a carload and fill the boot and see how it all pans out fully laden! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
