space savers as front runners

[stradlater]

I know this topic has been covered before, but the previous thread didn't exactly hit the nail on the head, so, I"m going to ask a few key questions again.

A) Is there any saftey risk that anyone knows of when running the space saver WHEEL as a front runner, with an appropriate front runner tyre

B) Does anyone know if they came 4x114.3 (ra23 offset) and if so, what off and where the devil can I get them?

C) Does anyone know of other examples where they have been used? (other than the rigoli corolla?

D) Any inherent issues anyone can think of?

E) What size do they typically come in? (15x3 or whatever)

Cheers gents (and girls),

2. Offset wont matter on front runners they arnt wide enough. As such your Silvias are the best bet for space savers.

[chris davey]

A) I was told that there is no risk in the wheel itself.

B)?

C) I have seen quite a few cars at the drags using them. Can't remember exactly which ones though.

D) Nope

E) 15X4 I have seen.

s13 silvias? I would have thought s14 and s15 were 5 stud?

[ReQuieM]

Try Hon-Dahs, Preludes civics etc.

[takai]

S13s.
Honduhs are likely to be 4x100 or 5x100.

I know this may sound like a stupid question, but we talking nissan wreckers? Or is it a better idea to call nissan direct do you think?

[takai]

Wreckers, what you want will be from S13s, and base model R32s (and other assorted pieces of nissan gheyness)

[JustCallMeOrlando]

Chris is correct, my space saver came from an S13.

If you are really game you could try nissansilvia.com *shudders*

[stradlater]

Hey yeah, I might go an defect to the dark side for a little bit
I"m sure some of those clowns will sell me a space saver

[stradlater]

Any recommended nissan wreckers in melb?

[rthy]

iv seen a R32 with 4 space servers LOL
dont think it would take long b4 he got pulled over

anyways i found a 15x4 4x114.3 spacer saver in the nissan section of pickapart (www.pick-a-part.com.au)
it was $13 for wheel and tyre

[stradlater]

Hey, thanks mate!! I didn' think of that! Guess where I'm going on the weekend!

EDIT: How the hell do I know if it's 114.3 on the car? measure stud to stud?

[takai]

Just get one from a Silvia or R32.
But yeah, if you are needing to measure then it will be 114mm from diagonally opposite studs.

[stradlater]

how many silvias and or r32's am I going to find at pick a park.. Probably not many. :-)

[Draven]

try and jap wreckers.. call around
I picked up my space saver for the ma61 from a local jap wrecker. was more than $15, iirc

[rthy]

my "pick a part test" was go to the nearest ke70 or 4x114.3 similar car and do a test fit!
i dont think ull get one from a s13 or r32 but there are heaps of other cars that have might em

i was looking for a 4x100 for the corolla but found heaps of those euro ones 4x110 or something

[JustCallMeOrlando]

I thought a bunch of Civics were 4x114.3 as well?

[stradlater]

sounds like I'll be in with a chance.
