Another one bites the dust!
Looking good

Looks good! I'm guessing theres going to be a fair amount of work to get the rear axle nut to clear those wheels. Nice job so far and keep the pics coming.

As 'Sir Tom Jones' would say.....

After help from Sparkywig, Mycha and a few others to figure out what I need to do we came up with:
Latebay half shafts are shorter 24mm, so then we need to machine down the snout of the drum accordingly..... and modify the inner centre of the back of the wheel slightly.
This work is yet to be carried out so I'm sure there will be more issues along the way.

Looking great Paul, keep up the work mate.

Big thanks to Biagio Chrzanowski of World Wild Wagens for getting the Bus to this stage. 8)












Rolling on crome BRM's on slam tyres and stock rears until we sort the rear hubs and get the front notched.
Then we will get the stance perfected for what is functional to my needs.
**** pics, only had my phone on me and the sun was goin down!

Love the wheels, what size tires you have at the front ??

Love the wheels, what size tires you have at the front ??

Still trying to figure that one out!?
Front wheels are 4.5, I want them as high rated as possible for the bus but they need to be fairly low profile.



165/50/15 seems to be the choice for others but alway open to good advise!
(The tyre tread on here gives lots of options!)

Might be just on the front at this rate and stock rears..... although that could look cool!! 8)

Hi mate, great wheel choice!
I've wanted a set of these for a while, I'm guessing they don't fit on rear without some modifications :?
How much did they cost? PM if you like
Cheers Paul

 

[Myvanway]

PM'd you Paul, as there is a lot to consider if your after these dude.

What offset are they? Or is it the hubs that are the problem?

Its the Hub/snout that fouls the inside.
15mm spacer sorted the issue but threw the tyre beyond the arch.
