I am guessing you mean 5 stud beetle in which case no .. 5 stud beetle as a bolt pattern on an offroader is pretty much dead ...

What offsets are you running on those wheels brad?

I think you'll find that 5-stud is still very much alive and kicking, especially in the competition arena - check out the number of wide-5 Centrelines used on comp buggies !

Sorry to hijack Brad....but it a free bump and it’s in offroad v-dubs anyway.....lol ;)

I tend to sell more alloys to wide-5

Most of my 4 stud customers only want white wheel.

Just shows how we are all different in every state.:thumb

we are not talking about the comp side
its the street and off road registered cars

ok .. wide 5 wheels are dead in the Road Registered area .. if you look at the offset on the comp wheels most will not go under stock guards and most are not road legal and made with AS compliance ... at least most of the ones I have seen.

The issue with wide 5 on street cars is disc brakes... NO ONE makes an affordable wide 5 conversion. I can offer 4 wheel disc brakes and mag wheels in 4 stud patter much much cheaper than wide 5 so why would you want to go wide 5 ?

Offset is around neg 12


OZ Towdster - January 11th, 2006 at 07:19 PM

It's allright Pete i'm still running wide 5 and drum brakes ,BUT still kicking butt

Hi Brad , The rims have J markings on them ?


seagull - January 26th, 2006 at 12:55 AM

If these are Made to Australian standards these would have a ( J ) DOT markings stamped on the inside of the rim .

Brad I need to know this as I have been asked from the guy that would like to order some from you .

Yes or No

Over here in the west this is inspected at LIC .

cheers


Brad - January 26th, 2006 at 08:55 AM

yes they have an AS stamp on them. I don't know about a J marking but I am 100% sure that they are fully compliant in any state and made in australia. Load rated to like 1100 kg ea


11CAB - January 26th, 2006 at 09:18 AM

The J marking refers to a lump on the inside of the rim
One J means there is one on the side facing out
Two J's mean there is one on both sides

It is the little bump on the L/H side of this pic. It is covered by the tyre when it is fitted
Normally you would see something like "15x7J ET38" stamped onto the rim

So what has that got to do with a RWC ?


Baja Wes - January 27th, 2006 at 08:54 AM

the bumps are designed to keep the bead on the edges of the rim even if the tyre deflates. It's a safety feature.
