new alloy wheels

DrSilver · 20-09-2005, 05:49 PM

I just bought some new alloy wheels for my hyundai and stupid hyundai have bolts in between the studs. The guy in the shop checked with Advanti whether they would fit and they said yes...but the wheels dont fit because the space allowed for the bolts in between the studs arent big enough. The shop suggested that they would grind the hole a bit more but i was thinking whether that would cancel the structural warranty from the manufacturer?
cheers!

my dad had to get his grinded to fit his hilux (rims imported from state) as far as i no they still ahve the warrenty....might be worth checkin with the manufacturer though

when i had my old excel, i had to 'bore out' the 4x100 bolt holes to allow for these bolts...call up the manufacturor of the wheel (enkei, rjr etc) and see if itll **** the wheel...if not, send it away to be machined!

yeah, the guy at the shop called advanti this afternoon and they are paying for the machining apprently

are they 4x110 or something?

DrSilver · 20-09-2005, 06:45 PM

yeh, they have both 4x100 and 4x114.3. The stud pattern, offset and centre hole size are perfect!! its just these bloddy bolts on the hub of the car that are causing the problem. They allowed space for smaller bolts on the rims but my ones are too big for the space allowed...its kinda confusing to explain...the rims need to have a space in between the stud holes for the bolts that are in between the studs on the hub to fit in.

4x114.3

but the front discs (maybe lantra also has rear) have 4 bolts sticking out hold them on...kinda silly...

Damn, you just can't get wheels to fit that piece of Korean Krap

DrSilver · 20-09-2005, 11:30 PM

yeah, the front hub has four studs and four bolts(that hold the cv joint Ive been told). The rear also has dics brakes but they dont have these stupid four bolts ...they only have the studs.
