Will these wheels fit?

Featured Replies

They will clear if:

 

a) your brake pads are worn down really really far...

 

B) you grind off alittle of your brake caliper.

 

 

Other than that, no.

Would this grinding be dangerous? IE its a daily driver :)

 

It depends.

After doing some measuring of the wheels in question and a set of EA82 alloys (Yes, I have a pair of them), there is a 1in difference of the inside diameter.

The wheel offset is totally different also, altho I dont know if this would make a difference or not.

Offset for the old alloys is 3.5in and the EA82 alloy is 5.25in.

 

So, depending on how you feel grinding a 1/2in off your calipers will decide whether you want the wheels bad enough.

Not many have done it, but I havent done a search about it either.

Yeah I wouldnt do it either.

 

I have heard of others doing it. Its been a long time.

 

I only know about the brake pad thing because I once owned a EA82 that came with EA81 wagon wheels on it. They worked fine, but then I did a brake job and once I replaced the pads the wheels wouldnt move.
