WTB: 1x 17" 5spoke HR125 or Ozzy 080 rim

[evopwr]

Hrm. I had my panelbeater call them for me. Still have the receipts I think from the last time I used them. I'm sure I could dig them out... maybe.

Unless the fella who bought my galant GSR off me has the receipt amongst the huge stack I gave him. In any case it was definately less than 100.

but you had 16's on your gsr right???

and i needed my rim painted shadow chrome, which for some reason is really expnsive :roll:

Be careful driving with an odd sized outer diameter wheel/tyre in the meantime. Can fry your viscous center diff i'm told.

Trev

do you mean if i have 1 wheel different to the other 3?
or do you mean having equal wheels on the front, and different wheels on the back? (I have my 17" wheels on the back and 15" on the front)

Well at a rally i ran out of tyres and only had an odd sized spare left available (14" instaed of 15") and were strongly advised by Bill Orders who ran the Pedders Rally Team NOT to do it or expect $$$ repairs.
It sucked ass to DNF over that but better than screwing the car.

ah right, well ive got a pair of 15" wheels on the front rather than having the 1 space saver on, and have the bigger 17s on the back so there shouldnt be any issues with that.

Do gsr's even have viscous coupling or whatever its called? I thought only evo4 onwards have it. I might be thinking of something completely different.

If the outer diameter of the 15 & 17's is the same, eg high profile on the 15 and low profile on 17's then no problem.
If different your changing the final drive ratio between the front and rear wheels and therefore the diffs also. This puts strain on the driveline and im told the weak link is the viscous centre diff (this is what splits drive to front and rear wheels)

This has been discussed before in another thread on here somewhere.
Try a search for more info from others on it. Or throw this question up in the technical section.

Cheers,
Trev.

thanks for that info.

I have 205/40/17 on the back, and 195/50/15 on the front. The 17" has an outer diameter of 596mm, and the 15" has an outer diameter of 576mm.

So their close, but still 2cm out. Would that be ok, or would it be bad fro the driveline?

I cant remove my rear wheels now coz one of the lock nuts is cracked and the tyre shop say the entire stud needs to be drilled out. Which will be an expensive job coz so much care needs to be taken. (I'll make a new thread about this, and do a search on the tyre sizing differences).

I wouldnt do it Gilly :shock:

Run the same 15's all around till you get that other rim.

ok had a good read.

Long story short my car is sitting in shed till i find another 17" rim and tyre to borrow (anyone in adelaide,please?) or till, i get the stud off the rear 17" so i can put my other 15"'s on the rear to make it all even.

What a fucked up situation. Ive almost had enough of cars.
