Wheels and spindles?
flipflopsurfer - February 12th, 2006 at 04:23 PM

Hi All

I remember reading somewhere that there are 16 inch wheels out there that bolt onto the 5 X 112 pcd, I think they were off a merc or something similar. Anyone shed some light.
Is there anyone that does early bay dropped spindles? I'm looking to drop the bus, but prefer to use spindles for the main drop and adjusters for fine tuning.

Cheers

Jon

Thanks Mod, I found a pic of the ones I was looking for, they're merc 16" steels.

Anyone know of dropped spindles? I'd bring them in from the states, but the postage is a monster along with import tax.

i seem to remember u had to modify the center a little as it didnt fit over the axle cap or something. custom offroad at stafford brisbane does or did sell and fit sets of merc rims to kombis give them a call.
