Busy with a planning meeting today, doorbell goes.

Get to open it and DHL guy waves from his van, and points.

Parcel !!

Contents.

Could not wait for the meeting to be over.

So thought I would just try it on a wheel.

OK..... that worked, easy.

Down to the garage and pull out the big jack, roll the Rockit back, chock the front wheel.

Up in the air, off with the 16” alloy to just try the adapter on the 4x108 studs.

Yup. Fits. 20mm added

Spacers that came with the wheels are another 5mm. So total 25mm

So of course I needed to see if the new wheel fitted on the adapter.

Keep in mind, the tyres on them are 175/15’s that are silly stretched.

Yes, it does.

I liked it.

QUESTION: How wide can I go on tyres on there rims, they are 8J or 8” wide.

More in a bit, need to deal with something.
