20" Rims

[BANANA]

Hi Chaps
Was up in colchester the weekend
Trying to lever a set of 20" BADBOY HENCH INIT YODOOD QP Rims on the Nana
An just want to say they dont FFFFFFFFFFFFF in Fit some B**ard has mooved the Bolt holes

SO if you se a set of 20" QP rims on Flebay they dont fit 4200
worst of it was they wer as cheep as chips

 

[Andyk]

Yes Nana they don't fit.....Could have saved you effort if you had asked as I think someone else on here tried...Shame that.

 

[conaero]

I take it that means the GT's Neptune alloys dont fit either?

 

[Torenno Performance]

None of the GT wheels will fit the 4200's

 

[conaero]

Shame, that would look very nice:

 

[GransportFan1]

still prefer the normal wheels,

 

[Andyk]

Is that real or a photoshop Matt...Very good if it is.....I agree with Adam, very nice but prefer the original.

it is photoshopped, that car looks like the Verdi Goodwood GS Meridien have had in for ages.

 

[conaero]

Yes, I Photochopped it, but only very quickly mind you.

I personally prefer it to the OEM wheels.

 

[Andyk]

Matt, you are very good as I would never know.....

Agreed as standard they dont fit , but with 25mm spacers purpose made , they could be adapted to fit , tho whether i would want to be hitting the 130/140 mph barrier with adapted wheels is a different matter , i'd be hitting the ton and wondering whether those bolts can take the strain

Thanks Andy, Photoshop is to me what a saw is to a chippie, I use it all day, every day.

Hi Lozibabe
25mm spacers wont cure this
Some Bast*** put the holes in the wrong place

OR do i have the rong end of the stick ???

Loz dont tell me i turned the rims down JUST for a set of SPACERS ????

 

[Andyk]

No think you are right Nana...If the holes are in the wrong place then they just will not fit.

Yep thats the case MIck , with a set o 25mm spacers , the holes can be re- drilled and tapped to suit the wheels , the spacers are held on by using countersunk bolts using the existing bolt holes on the hub , fine for run of the mill cars , but the high speed stresses of a masser in excess of 100mph would concern me , so in my view , you have don e the right thing


regards loz

 

[Andyk]

I stand corrected then Loz.....

 

[Gullible]

At 25mm+ the spacers have to be bolted to the hub and the new alloys would then be bolted to the spacer.There are companies that produce high performance spacers and the nuts that would take the stresses of a modern high power car and are perfectly balanced.
I am with Loz on this though...you just wouldn`t feel quite safe when giving the car a thorough drive.
I would guess.. as with everything though,you give a bit and then relax..then you give a bit more and relax until you feel confident in the durability of the product.

 

[BANANA]

Thanks Lozibabe
Thanks Gullible

If the rims are still for sale i will have a look at pro speq spacers
If i am the first to do this it might be a laugh to loos a wheel at 100MPH
Well if yu got to go
I say go in style in your Masser

oce again ALL you chaps THANKS

will post the news

Wouldn't the QP rears be too wide for the wheel arches with spacers? Close I think.
