Aye, 16" on LWB, 15" on SWB.

never realised that:doh:

are they worth owt

 

[Rubins4]

Yeah, lwb are slightly wider and look a bit better on the vehicle. I gather there is a wider selection of tyres available too.

Where abouts are you and what sort if price are you looking for? Not worried about bald/ mismatched tyres, infact no tyres would be preferable!

PM if you prefer Robin.

More of a liability than an asset I would say. As I'm generous I'll give you £1.

In all seriousness, have a think and let me know.

I have 16" on both my s1 and s3 swb, was it ususal for swb to have lwb wheels or do I assume someone has changed mine in the past.

what ive got is 4 16" rims no tyres as they are on the wellers, i just prefered the wellers so bought a set and put my tyres on em- im in Rotherham
ive no idea what they are worth - whatever your happy with you can have them for - all i'd do is chuck them on ebay, sell them, the winner wouldnt turn up, relist them, sell them................... repeat process untill i just scrap em

Only 15'' rims on SWB that were genuine went stateside (better tyre choices for them apparently). I may just be wrong (again).

Miles away! always the way.

A mate of mine heads to Yorkshire from time to time, can I see if he can pick up on next trip up? If you need to get rid sooner rather than later then no bother.

not done a deal on it lately but i've just picked up a 300tdi for it so if anyones after a 6 cylinder drop me a line but it might be a while before i remove it

 

[CarlosVanDango]

i've got a 4 cyl bellhousing now thanks to advice off here my 6 cyl one wouldnt have fitted the Tdi

so i plan to fit the bellhousing to the Tdi then pull out the 6 cyl

my plan is to get this roadworthy for this winter - well thats the plan

 

[Blackburn]

Is it the gearbox bell housing you are changing to match the 300?

 

[CarlosVanDango]

yes it is - i'm told the 6 cyl one is a different stud pcd/pattern

 

[honolulujoe]

how much of a while before you remove the 6?

would be interested towards the end of the year if its that much of a while

 

[CarlosVanDango]

well all being well it'll be out within a month .............. but you never know

 

[CarlosVanDango]

got the 4cyl bellhousing bolted up to the 300TDi

next step engine out
