What Backspace do i need for new rims?
By bigfudge 13/01/12@00:01 Shed 3305Gday People
I am looking at buying new mags for my HT Premier, to replace the Centerlines i currently have fitted. Most wheels i have looked at have several sizes of backspace.
I was wondering if anybody could tell me how to measure what backspace i need? Or can i measure the backspace of the current wheels and that will tell me what i need?
Cheers. Ron

Stubtech drop axles & Where to buy axle nuts?
By Dec-150 08/12/11@14:59 Shed 4164Hey,
Does anyone know where you can buy new stub axle castle nuts for the old holdens?
Do general auto stores sell them?
Also if anyone has a HR lowered 2 inches ...and pics in your shed can you post up a link?
I'm considering drop axles from Stubtech set up for commodore brakes.
They're pricey but I plan on lowering it (don't know how much yet) and want commodore brakes and they'll aid in both.
Alternatively is anyone selling a setup to fit commodore brakes to a HR, I think my HR has HT stubs.
Cheers
