15" rims on 80s?

Post by **88 Shorty** » Mon Oct 03, 2005 1:10 pm

Hello, i own a 10th month/1993 petrol 80 series (RV if that helps). Will i be able to fit 15" sunraiser rims over the brakes or do i have to stick with 16"

thanks

If you search you will find.. Yes they fit just a bit of grinding to be done on the rear calipers..

That is not always true.

I have been fitting the larger brakes to my 91 80 series and I cant fit the stock 15x7 GXL wheels over the calipers even with grinding. The slide pin/screws that hold the brake pads in place foul on the inside face of the rim and iot doesnt matter how much you grind it isnt going to alter the pins/screws. The only thing that will work is a different offset wheel.

I also have a set of 15x10 sunnys and with the grinding on the top of the caliper they will fit no problems.

So the moral of the storey is try the wheel on first before you purchase as only some 15inch wheels will fit even with grinding.

Just measured the offset on my sunnys and you will need a minimum of 120mm rear offset to fit on the front. Dont know about the rears because I have given up on the conversion for a couple of weeks. Need it on the road for now.

Mine's a 93 model and i bolted a standard HiLux wheel on the front, no problems at all..
