Landies/Maxi flanges & Rangie Alloys - warning.

my wheels were the same as yours sjane!!

and yes the centre caps don't fit......but it was still tight on the rim with the flanges like I said, they went on and off ok but when first initially fitting a little force was needed until they made a small grove of there own I'm talking less than a mm here

I like to call it an interference fit :lol2:

Almost like nuts were optional.:D

I've pulled numerous rangies down and had to do the same, the standard alloys oxidise and stick to the hubs:mad:

Try servicing two or three toyota's a day and all of the rims needed a flogging with a rubber mallet to get off and back on.It's no wonder the things don't drive straight. Pat

Mine fit fine, on the Boost alloys.

Have your wheel studs got the slash across the end of them? Some/early hubs won't take alloys properly, irregardless of Maxidrive stuff.
