Hiya, I recently purchased some 15x7" rims to allow me to put bigger tyres on my Delica. The rims were from a Toyota Surf.
When I bought them I gagued them by eye (didn't have any calipers with me at the time) and as they are a standard Navara size (same as the Deli apparently) I thought they were on the money.
They are ALMOST a perfect fit. The offset is the same, the stud pattern is the same. The inside diameter of the centre hole is 1.3mm smaller than needed for the Delica...
Can I grind it out? Whats the best way (at
home without access to a big workshop full of bench presses and the like)? Is it safe to do so?
Do I need to make any more measurements before someone can tell me if its safe to do it? Or should I just try to flog them and get a set from a Pajero instead?
Cheers for your advice.
Tom
