WTB: [NSW] semi slicks and koni shocks

Putonyourshoes · 23-10-2008, 09:50 PM

tires to suit stocko v6 wheels so i think 205/50?/16 i could be wrong as they are hidden under junk. and if anyone has koni or ms shocks sitting round let me know

cheers

good luck with that.

16" doesnt seem to be a common size for Semis. Have you thought of swapping to 15" wheels? semis are much more common in 15" sizes.

i was under the impression that 15" wheels wouldnt fit over the v6's brakes? does anyone know the offset of the comodores and 1991 bmw? (i dont know any more details so thats all i know. they are the same)

Yes, 15" steelies are standard on the base JDM V6.

Commodores + BMWs are the wrong stud pattern (5x120), but AU and later Falcon wheels will fit and the offset will work.

I've got two front Koni yellows you can have for rebuild purposes. See my parts thread

hey guys. also looking for v6 headers. i found someone who has a set for sale i didnt go through with the sale because it needed to be modified to be fitted but now i think im ready to do it so if anyone has some let me know

I thought it would be relativelly easy to get semi slicks in 16".

Isn't that common?

toyo has a good range of semi slicks in 205/50R16.

That's because they're all for GE MX6 - they don't exist off the shelf for BA. Any exhaust place can mod them - not much work is needed.
