The old wheels did not unfortunately fit unless with a spacers and with the spacer sat 20mm outside the guards

The Weld wheels are WE90-55036 (http://www.rocketindustries.com.au/pdf/catalogue/section_22.pdf)

WE90-55036 15x5 - 4x4 4.25/4.5 with 3.5 backspace - But thats probably the issue with negative offset not positive


So i guess the only real option is to change the wheels to a smaller width. Because of the offset being 3.5

That or just Shave down the housing for the caliper so it sits in nice.

They have to be the old style struts.

Just got a quick issue for you guys with my front struts (well brake caliper housing).

Now when i brought the ute off a mate im not sure if the struts are original or have been changed to i.e stanza or 200b struts. So im unsure of the the rotors on the struts.

Now the main issue is that the caliper housing on the rotors sticks out HUGE - like a good 15mm over the axle bolts which means that my Weld wheels do not go all the way down the axle and rub on the housing. Now using a spacer is certainly out because the wheel will be way to far out the front guards.

The other options are:

1. - Grind the housing back the 15mm so its flush (Now i can't exactly do it with an angle grinder cause it will be messy work - which means i may have to purchase a Di grinder)
2. replace the Caliper/rotor setup (Now not knowing the struts and unable to find a serial on them i have no idea what will fit or work)
3. Replace the complete struts and rotor assembly and calipers with - DSK245S 200B Short strut HD KYB Adjustable platforms SnS rotors girlock calipers, 1200, sunny, pair $1995 (From Datsport)
But with this option needing to know how these struts go and if ill end up with the same issue as i currently have. I'd Prefer to upgrade the whole package but i just need some insight from other people with this setup to see if they have had any wheel issues before i got out and blow 2 grand.

This is really the only thing i have not replaced on the car - so an upgrade my be the option has anyone used the aboved struts

Here is a Pic of the rotor's and calipers atm - Can someone help?

What are you asking for them?

Just noticed another one going for $500. with supposedly forged internals

Forged ca18det motor, loom, computer, spare parts $500

http://www.allclassifieds.com.au/ac/display-ad?cid=123280855

Just as a heads up if someone is intrested a bloke is selling a CA18DET here in Canberra for $300.00 (NOT ME SELLING IT)

with loom, starter and everything to make it run.

Now i have no clue what state the engine is in and weather it would run, but for $300.00 is still better then getting a half cut and rebuilding the engine to the SPEC's you want for the same cost as a half cut (in which no doubt you would rebuild anyhow).

anyway here is the link to the sale if someone is interested

http://www.allclassifieds.com.au/ac/display-ad?cid=123297677

Bucket seats are the only way tbh.. gives you more room so your not so cramped under the stearing wheel.. but it could be just me cause im 6".2...

But i have used Monza seats i got for free and then some simple Recaro one's but now i have got on order some bride Seats.. And just either modify the rails or i have kept the monza rails cause they fit perfectly in.

Will that draglink work??

DTR120S Stanza Sunny Center rod (track rod or drag link) TR558 Datsport part $69

Being a stanza sunny centre rod?
