Just another Newbie
« on: Jun 14, 2007, 08:37PM »
Hey all. Was extremely surprised and pleased to find out there is a forum dedicated to Pintara's. It is now my new home page  :D

Anyways as well as announcing my presence on the site...can someone help me out with a few things?? Recently bought a 1990 Pintara T and have been deciding on some rims. Got some mates offering me 2 different sets of rims, both 17's.
So the questions:
Will 17's scrape on stock suspension or at full lock?
And what's the offset? Cos one set I have been offered is 114.3 and the other is 100...

Thanks all!

U12's run a 114.3 x 4 stud pattern.

An offest of +40 will be best for your new 17's... +42 even better.

Test fit them.

But, if you plan to lower the car at any stage, do that first.  Before buying/fitting new rims.
