No Dish!!!

wheel track and bearings

what was that about wheel bearings?...they seriously get rooted if u throw out your track width???

According to the RTA and auto engineers, yes. In reality, whether it really is a drama may be a different story, but they obviously made the law for a reason; the law being (in NSW) that you may increase your track width by no more than 25mm over standard. :bang:

ahhhhh ok then...makes sense really...stupid cars not being made tough enough to stand a wee bit of fatening...grrr...

ah well, might be a reason why theres only plain offset wheels geting around then...i have seen some nice ones so yeah either way i'll be happy, just would have loved the in your face dish that so many ricers flaunt...

the first thing i noticed when i put my rims on was my steering wheel is way offset, ive got to steer to the right a bit the keep the wheels straight... why would this be? a wheel alighnment should fix it though

Road camber... the smaller the profile of the tyre, the more the road camber will influence the cars steering....

Though get a alignment neways... only 60 bux of sumfin...

DUBS have a deep dish rim and i think you can get it repatterened to suit a commodore

Juss so u know spacers are illegal in Aus unfortunaly...... not sure on longer studs tho

No big deal.

Have run them before without dramas :thumbsup:

u physically cant get a dished rim under ur guard! when i say dished, im talking 2inch or more.. and not the reverse dish either (starts at the mount point, and dishes toward the inner guard).. look at i think VN up to now, the front wheel studs are mostly level with the outta guard. so if u did get a nice dished rim, it will stick outside the guards like dogsballs. plus u'd go over the 25mm trackwidth law.. im not 100% sure if it does screw ur wheel bearings, but the law is made for safety reasons..

Umai Naa!! : jus becoz u have run them without dramas doesnt mean its not illegal!
