Insani-T Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Ok so the Ej has this stud pattern, and the only thing I seem to be able to find for it are 17 inch chrome mags which I aint putting on it. I believe some Volvos have this stud pattern too, is that right? Anyways what other cars have this stud pattern? I need to find some rims with a offset of 0. All help will be appreciated, but if I cant find something nice I will just roll stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pies Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 he said 5 stud boe. not 4 stud surely something like HQ hubs will fit on to change the stud pattern if your that keen to change wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insani-T Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 There is a fair bit of work involved in changing the hubs which I dont want to do at this point. First job is just to get it back on the road, feel a little unsafe driving on 13x4.5 rims but I will if nothing turns up. Other option is to get them widen I guess, but I am still stuck with 13 inch rims when ideally I would like some 15's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htwn-escort-boy Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 i know you dont want to change the hubs, so get a new diff with different stud pattern and then redrill the front stud pattern to suit, we done this on dads car, just idea tho?

Insani-T Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 They ok, but not really what I want for the EJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 But they are! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Really can't see those on an EJ at all. Way wrong look IMO. Would be awesome on a VB or something though! I was considering getting those for my vectra but decided not to waste money on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Really can't see those on an EJ at all. Way wrong look IMO and UncleJake's opinion too. Early Holden rims pop up on TradeMe from time to time. Alternatively the likes of Performance Alloys (now in NZ receivership I was told yesterday but check) supply a number of older syle alloy wheels that come into the country undrilled - i.e. you choose the PCD. They are really cheap too. Gaz - you are a great guy and have excellent taste in everything - except wheels . EDIT: The wheels on your white Mk2 Cortina ruled.

Insani-T Posted November 19, 2008 Author Share Posted November 19, 2008 Christ how wide are those? Its a squeeze to get 7 inch wide rims under the front guards so I have read. But I guess anything can be achieved with a bit of muscle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 lol, I am 50/50 on them rims there. Think Id rock them on an ugly car, hence the suggestion.. ohh burn. Nah I dont even know what the car looks like o be honest. Still got the meshies on the mk2 but just found a house we are going to get with only a really small single garage so Cortina will have to park on road. Not keen on them sitting on roadside so rims will go to storage. Back on topic. Why not widen the fuck outta the std steels. Surely they have monster gaurds.
