Yes, they will fit without any modification

Without getting into engineer speak, in this case its important the BOTH align correctly to have the load evenly distributed. The wheels aligns with both the lugs and he centre bore, as recommended by the Australian engineers

Absolutely agree, we are excited and cant wait to see the final product on the cars. This will happen within the next 30 days or so

Re the link above, might pay to check the details - looks to be going via facebook?

Thanks for the heads up... sorted now

David, my plan is to run the steelies on excursions to particularly rocky or difficult tracks when the wheels are likely to be damaged.
Plus I'll fit mud tyres but in the same size as on my Compos. The Compos will continue with KO2s or similar for longer outback expeditions or when a mud tyre is undesirable. When warranted I'll take a steelie as second spare so all of them will be the same size.

If I didn't have the Compos? I'd probably just keep the factory wheels for around town and run steelies for all offroad trips and in that case run KO2s.

Cheers,
Scott

I like your thinking! Sounds ideal

If only I had a bit more storage space. I'm already pushing it with 6 wheels and tyres in the garage!

Ha, you should try storing stuff for a couple of series projects as well😁😁😁.

Great news re the wheels. As recently as yesterday I was speaking to Tempe Tyres trying to source 18" wheels. I am very interested to see a pic and confirm offset, weight rating etc...

But what's the cost? That's what I care about
