Mybowlcut Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Hey. I was wondering about interceptor rims... This site says that commodores have 12cm pcd... the FAQ says KE70s have 114.3... I like the look of these wheels and if I remember correctly I think I've seen a ke30 or something sitting on them... it was the one for sale that was pictured next to the Harbour bridge... So what's the go? Do any rims exist that look like these that will fit on a KE70? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 You use r31 skyline one's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Townace (the one with the 7k in it) wheels supposedly fit. seen a pic of them on a ke30. Dunno wether the offset will suit a ke70 Edited December 21, 2008 by SLO-030 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mybowlcut Posted December 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Townace ones don't have enough holes haha. I know that sounds stupid but I prefer the version with lots of holes haha. Couldn't find any pics of r31 interceptors on google images? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) Go to the wreckers and look in boots of R31s and Pintaras for the steelies. Skylines will be 15", Pintaras 14". You'll need to space the Skyline 15s out about 10-20mm, as they hit the brakes on a stock KE3x/5x/7x. I've never tried Pintara wheels. Pictures here: http://wiki.datsun1200.com/index.php/Wheel You can also get steelies made up, with any size band (width) and center (PCD) you like. Call a drag racing engineering place, look in Street Machine magazine for ads. They won't be cheap though, you could buy 15" mags for less.

13BT_KE20 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) also some saab rims came out with a 4x114.4 PCD and only need a 8mm spacer on the front and no spacer on the rear with 195/50 tyres so if you like the rims on my car start the local saab wreckers Edited December 22, 2008 by 13BT_KE20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for that info, Jamie! :bash: Do you mean with wheel spacers? What's the deal with them (how much/where from/legal)? I've only read about them.. Cheers!

SLO-030 Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 They would be the SAAB wheels. From what ive heard early ones came out 108pcd and later ones came out 114.5pcd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Jamie Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 wheel spacers that just sit between the hub and wheel are illegal in all states i know of you can get bolt-on spacers engineered, but these are usually quite thick, you'd change the wheel offset so much you'd be better off looking for front wheel drive steelies, perhaps from a honda or excel or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kangaroosa Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) I saw the monetary value in the R31 Interceptor/Chaser/Pursuit rims and decided to exploit it about 12 months ago. I searched the local wreckers whenver i was there and eventually got 2 sets (8 rims). Each wheel set me back $20 ($80 set) and I sold each set on ebay for $350 ($350 x 2 = Profit). I have one in my backyard....awaiting 3 of its friends. They are extremely rare, and even more sought after. Goodluck with the hunt if you decide to go that path.
