Drkas LCR- Air and Interior by Plush

[Willie]

So just now your saying your spigots on the wheels are different to the spigot size on the hubs??

WOW!!!

You can get spacers for these.
I would not be driving a car with this miss match, have you thought this through??
The side load/shearing load on the wheel bolts will be huge. There not built or designed to resist this type of load.
Please rethink this set up

Yeah the middle circle on the spacer slots onto the hub nice and tight, held on by the 5 bolts.

Then the wheel center bore is slightly larger than the spacer so if you put the wheel on the spacer it cant just be spun round to line the bolt holes up. I need to raise the wheels slightly so everything lines up.

I have seen the spacers my mate who works at my local garage showed me theyr just crappy black plastic circles.

Gonna look good when finished Derek

stance anyone.......waiting on coilovers now, cheeky lil preview

I immediately though sega powerdrift when i saw this!

wheels look stunning,

 

[drka-drka]

Cheers guys, gotta get couple little niggly parts sorted in up coming weeks, center caps for wheels would help too

 

[KatCowie]

Gonna look good when finished Derek

Im with you on that one suj

 

[drka-drka]

Cheers hun! still not found any bolts that are shorter so looks like im cutting standard ones.

Any idea wat size the standard nuts are, planning on ordering some new ones

Nuts or bolts?
Try David at SereMotors if its OEM stuff you want

 

[suj]

Derek, are you after standard bolts for the LCR, or for Merc Alphards?
LCR = M14 x 1.5
Merc = M12 x 1.5 (again not 100% sure on these, well the M12 I am, but not the Pitch)

 

[drka-drka]

Well i after bolts to fit the merc wheels to the adaptors. I know i probs wont get the correct length but they can be easily cut so not fussed about that

 

[ibizacupra]

you are getting spigot rings for these yea?
you must not rely on wheel bolts to do anything other than clamp the wheels.. centre hub is the part which should carry the loads not the bolts in shear.

 

[drka-drka]

Iv been locking at them, as they'r dirt cheap. Ones im finding are about 7-10 quid

Just trying to find the correct sizes for the wheels and the adaptors

Recon the adptors is about 57.1 just trying get the Alphards size

You could probably get a set fabbed for you, you're in the right part of the country for lots of machining shops. Hell you probably have someone at your work that can do this.

Have to say mate I'm not really into the look of those wheels but that's just my opinion. Having said that tho fair play to you for doing something different, there won't be any mistaking that's your car

 

[suj]

Derek the centrebore is Merc, so 66.6 (or something like that)
Get on edition38, there's loads of sets for sale!!

Niall these wheels look amazing in the flesh, the pics don't do much justice for them at all. Im also with you on the fair play to doing something different Derek. Good for you being brave and not doing the usual mods which we see thousands of times. Can't wait to see how it turns out once Coilovers fitted. Can just see it in Golf+ in the UD write up

 

[drka-drka]

Not much new apart from ordering stuff

Merc carbon fiber center caps arrived today

Bolts and spigot rings should be here next couple of days, for a fitting this week

 

[drka-drka]

Oh hello

 

[KatCowie]

POKE!!! Looks so good, but you already know I love the wheels hun

 

[wayne lcr]

side on view would be nice mate.

 

[tyrer]

Found your car at UDubs mate got a pic of pedo bear, gutted you were on the oem wheels, the mercs are so nice!!!
