16" steelies with 4 x 100 pcd?
« on: 16 November 2005, 18:56 »
Hi folks

This one is as the title says really. can you get 16" steelies with 4 x 100 pcd? I would like to put steelies on my motor for winter but i have a big brake conversion kit on and cant be arsed to change the callipers and discs over. specialy as i think i have binned me old discs.

It dont matter what make of steelie just as long as it will fit. I used to run 15" bmw steelies in the winter but that wont fit over me calliper.

has anybody any ideas?


aye up me duck!

didn't they do G60 steels in 16"?? If so i think you can still get them from the stealership.  :smiley:

What brakes do you have. My 15" G60 steelies fit over my G60 brakes. Funny that.  :tongue:

i have the brembo 4 pot conversion from badger bill  :smiley:

i wanted steelies cos if i slide and hit a kerb steelies dont snap like me mates alloys did last year. also with 16's i could have a larger side wall on me tyre and this would help with kerb collision and hopfully put a bit more softness back in the ride so i dont have to tip toe on the ice as the konis are pretty hard even on the lowest setting.

Do you often hit curbs or something. I try to avoid them.
