will 17" alloys fit ???

[stana]

Will the 17" alloys that were fitted standard to the later terranos fit all terranos? mine has 16" fitted. are they easy to find second hand? ta :thumbs

 

[Terranosaurus]

Yes and not sure.

oh good, i just noticed they dont have the big centre holes to fit over the hubs like my 16" wheels ?

You'll also be more restricted on tyre size too I'd guess lots more money too :doh

yeah you'll have to convert to fixed front hub not freewheeling ones so would need the drive flanges off a late model T2.

mines a 2003 so i dont think it has free wheeling hubs ?

Just wondering, why would you want to? bri

i just thought 17s looked a bit nicer thats all.

look into tyre sizes and prices before you get some 17 rims..

17 inch wheels are a pain in the whotsit! I have them on mine (2005 model)

Apparently this size, so Ive been told, also fits some X5 BMW's - so the price per tyre is hiked up :doh

Also limitied to type / tread pattern you can have on them... mostly road biased tyres!

If you like going off road I'd stick to the 16's... :thumbs

I dont really do any off roading but tow the caravan quite a lot. ive looked for a set and they seem hard to find.
