New Tyres & Rims

[outback_aussie]

Hi Guys,

I got my Cooper AT3's put on today with some new black steelies, looks so much better and the bigger size I am very happy with.

With the rims, I've heard they rely on the centre hub for weight rather than the studs, but the tyre shop said there shouldn't be a problem and its hard to get anything aftermarket that fits perfectly, however they offered some plastic spacer things? Should I be putting these on? (see upclose photo 3)

Cheers,

Tayler

Looks good, are the rims 7 inch and do you know the offset.

Thanks mate, they are 7 inch (had to buy them to fit the bigger tyres, didn't even know the standard steel ones were 6 inch). Wouldn't have a clue of the offset sorry

Looks good mate, just gotta paint those wheel weights black! and the hubs!

given your in queensland and how anal your authorities are i would be putting the hub centric rings on that you were offered, just make sure you never call them spacers or you will run foul of newmans anti hooning laws

p.s. had a friend get his car defected in a random blitz for having a rear mudflap that was more than 300mm from the ground, i kid you not and he was not speeding, hooning or being provocative they were pulling all cars over on the bruce highway and giving on the spot roadworthy checks, he also got pinged for having aftermarket control arms which were a replacement part and identical to OEM but did not have a mod plate for them.
