No machining was required, and the spacers were 5mm from the local boy racer shop (only needed for the front) they were the 16" jobbies though - DVLA says sorn not due, but would be gutted if it has been scrapped I loved that car - as a side note I did actually test fit a set of 17" alloys as...

Spotted a dutch registered tobacco leaf P6 in west wales last week anyone on here? Cheers AL

Jeep Grand Cherokee (98-2002) Cheers AL

Hi John, Nice to hear fom you again - currently watching a P6 on ebay with a montynogo diesel in it! looks like a good basis for my conversion! Cheers AL

Yep, Rover 820 secretly stashed with my tame mechanic for 3 years (so the misses wouldn't get cross!) now snuggled up in my garage - current plan is for a stripped out lightweight track car with big alloys and no chrome apart from a series one grille

Hi All, Alimorg here (Lunar Grey 3500s with big alloys - sorely missed!) dont get back here as often as I would like but was shocked to see the site down. Anyway have moved house and now have a garage (I feel a project coming on as I still have a 16v 2.0 rover motor looking for a home - I...

No not at all, with the original wheels in the boot and two passengers not a problem, the only rubbing I got was on the front where the balancing weights would sometimes rub on full lock, easily sorted with those stick on ones that go inside the wheel. as for the T series conversion will...

Yep, I still pop in from time to time, you are right my tyres were slightly undersize, but there was a lot of space in the rear arch and I probably could have gone to a higher profile with no problems. The spacers at the front were to clear the suspension upright they were 5mm I think. I still...

Brilliant!

If the above was indeed the case any car that had had its sills replaced would fail an MOT Most components on most cars are welded together, I cant see what the problem would be! simply cut along an old weld and then re-weld it. I know I would trust a strut that had been inspected, shortened...

Mate of mine bought a 1977 silver jubilee chopper (all silver and alloy wheels limited edition) from an ad he placed in the freeads, now he paid £25 for it off an elderly lady and got wait for this £1500 for it on ebay! Jammy git Cheers AL

Hi BB, Try here: Rally Design They supplied the wheel nuts for the alloys I had, the link takes you to the stud pages, they have 7/16 studs either +13mm or +25mm should be enough Cheers AL

This might help, Rally design I got some 7/16 nuts for my cherokee alloys from here and very nice they were too Cheers AL

Hi Tor, Yes I had 5mm spacers on the fronts, with 205/50 R16 tyres there was about 1/2 inch to spare on the outside at the back. Interestingly before I sold it I had a set of 17x7.5" rims off a Grand cherokee to test fit (£40 off eBay!) and they also fitted well under the rear arches, however...

Hi Tor, Its all to do with the offset of the wheel, even with the smaller wheel if the offset is wrong you will run uinto problems, I have tried to explin in the image below. The pic on the left shows a cross section through the rear end of a P6 with a large wheel that has the correct offset at...
