Nissan aint Nissan...bugger, bugger

I refer back to my post 32673 about fitting MRF rag tyres.

The rims were off my old retired G60 which is now seeing its days out on Warraweena Station in the Flinders.

I noticed that the wheel nuts kept on coming loose on the front wheels. Did a number of test runs on the gravel roads around here and still no improvement. Had discussions with my tyre bloke and we were non plussed. Eventually stripped two wheelnuts on front wheel.

So I removed the front wheels first and found that there was a slight lip behind each stud on the hub preventing the G60 rim from fitting flush on to the hub. There would be at least a 2mm gap when the rim is on. On the rear wheels it wasnt quite so bad as there is no lip but there is a raised section which lets the G60 rim also fit about half a mill away from flush.

Bugger, bugger, bugger!!!! Came home, ripped the splits off, fitted the flares again and fitted the alloys and Cooper STT's again.

Will just have to take my chances out in the scrub and will now be carrying best tubes one can get as spares to fit the 265/75/16's

Bugger again....lol

Yer never too old to learn something!!!!!!

Cheers
