gruntus Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Chaps, I have an early 90 and have the issue with the front drive flanges fouling the inside of Boost alloys etc. I spotted these at Craddocks and it looks like they might fit (large clearance for the drive flanges). Anybody got any piccies of them fitted? Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L19MUD Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Didnt LRO have them fitted to their 90? The blue one which they rebuilt (I seem to remember it being a sand colour before with those wheels fitted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Litch Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 A friend of mine had these on his 110 a few years ago, I had always liked the look of them in the photos and seeing them in the flesh only reinforced this opinion. They should fit ok as like my ZU's they do not have a centre-cap and therefor no issues with the drive-member sticking through. The only thing that put me off was the 17-inch size. I was reluctant to move away from 16-inch although I am the first to admit I have no real basis for this reluctance, I just was! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Sorry I can't find the pics. I had them fitted to my Disco for a few years but sold them to a chap with an early 90. He mailed me a couple of pics to show how good it looked. Those pics appear to have dissappeared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pics appear to have dissappeared Hi Chaps, OF thanks for looking anyway, MurphyBoy had some nice alloys posted for his chassis swap here are they the same? He said they were ZU's but deffo look similar to the Preditor ones. What do you recon? Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphyboy Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Hi Old hand The alloys are preditor and not zu's, i had it in my head they were ZU's for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobble_hd Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 How about this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I think to fit boost's you need to fit shims, which will get around the problem and are a lot cheaper then a new set of wheels. Jason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 or even spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gruntus Posted April 20, 2010 Author Share Posted April 20, 2010 or even spacers Cheers Mo and all for your replies. mmmmmmm....... (thoughtfully rubbing chin, the top one not the second ) I asked about spacers previously as I liked the idea of just fitting the boosts and getting additonal (not much) turning as a bonus. With spacers would the drive flanges clear the inside of the alloys or would they still need dressing? Of course going down this route will mean fitting extended wheel studs. I wish I had know about this before I rebuilt the axles..... Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgasmic Farmer Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 No need for extended studs if you fit the 30mm spacers which bolt to your existing hubs and have their own "new" studs. Check Daves build HEREto see alloys fitted with whell spacers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
