I've found a set of rims and wondering if the pcd / offset would suit a mini.

The Pcb is 4" - 101.6mm, is a mini 100mm? Getting minis, lancers and cortinas mixed up.

Offset = 2 1/4"- 3 3/4"


I know I should "search", i have tried and failed :oops: gotta work out how to search better on this site.

100mm will not 'do' needs drilling out and stuff. IMO dodgy!

But, 'WB' Torana wheels do the job. No 10s though, all 12s or 13s.

I'm sure there's much more, after all 4 inchs would be correct for many british small cars, right?

Any idea on the required offset? These are 13's

That'd probably be it, I dunno, I'm not Holden guy, but HB sounds more correct than WB, but for some reason I keep thinking that....??

They wouldn't be the set on ebay would they Tom .... They look good , the quoted PCD is right but not sure of the offset . You still have the option of putting on or removing spacer drums though to adjust it a bit and if they are the ebay ones they're certainly old enough to be an appropriate offset rather than to suit a modern front wheel drive car .

Correct, they are HB Toranas. You may be thinking of the later model WB Statesmans and Tonners etc which are quite popular with the Red Lion boys.

Peace.

You guys spend too much time watching ebay, I guess I do too! He cancelled the other guys bid and ended the auction. Sent a message so see how we go.

Thanks for the help guys, I now know what to keep an eye out for.
