Changing front calipers on 80 series

Post by Wish I had coils »

If some one could help it would be good.
Need to know if early model 80 front calipers bolt straight onto to a 96, 80. Do you need to chage the front disc to.
Reason being it has 16 inch rims but want to run 15's so i can run 35's as i was told i could not get them in 16's

I hope this makes sense Cheers

Im pretty certain the fronts on the 96 will fit 15's its the rears you will have issues with.

I'm sure I've read that with a little grinding 15's can be fitted to the rear of an 80.

Also, there's not many 35" tires out there that aren't available with a 16" hole.

A 315/75/16 is the same as a 35 and yes its only the rear that the 15 wont clear but with a decent offset rim and a bit of grinding they fit fine...

Cheers, I never looked at the back just thought that they would we smaller on back. as when a bought them, The bloke at the tyre servise give me a 15 with a bfg tyre for the spare.
Which by the sounds of it is pointless if i get a flat now.
I'll have a look tommorow and see what i can do

Went to price bfg muddys and was told i could not get them to fit 16's Which i thought was strange, don't know what you think of that.
