Hi folks, i have been looking around for some wheels to fit my 1984 550TN Acty, now all i keep seeing is the PCD is 4 x 100 for these Acty`s, but on mine its 4 x 120, did they change some time between years? Its not easy to get wheels with the same PCD for the 4 x 120 :frustration: Olly Edit mite be ofuse tosome http://www.carlsalter.com/wheel_fitments.html
I remember someone else on this forum a while back having acty wheel problems...you may be stuck using hubcaps,or getting rims custom drilled...4x120 seems to be un-used by anyone else that I can find
Well i ahve been looking now for 2 days and i cant find any wheels or even adaptors over here in the UK that can use. Mite have to put up with the steels
I give up on the wheels to do a straight fit and been looking at adaptors, i can get a custom set made for around £130, not exactly what in wanted but if i want to be picky and have alloys fitted then i have no choice, this way though i can choose what ever PCD i want alsong as its x4. I am going to keep my eyes open around the breakers yards for a cheap set of decent alloys, they scrao them alot now over here so hopefully i will get a cheap set. Last set i got for £30, this saving will go towards the wheel adapters. Thanks anyway guys
I jumped in fet first and bough a set of classic mini alloys, will look great but i need to get the adaptors made now, but i need to make sure that the PCD is actualy 4 x 120, can anyone confirm the PCD for me please, i wont to be exacted with this but cant seem to find any sloid confirmation anywhere on this. thanks wayne
How about adapters, maybe you contact this company http://adaptitusa.com/browseproducts/4-X-120-to-4-X-100-Wheel-Adapter.HTML they even have 1 page for Honda wheel adapters http://adaptitusa.com/hondawheeladapters.aspx
check for wheels for 1st generation Honda Accord, Honda Civic, Mazda RX5, maybe they could fit, not sure about ET and hub size.
Then I would opt for the much cheaper adapters, probably no one will notice that for registration, difficult to see when the wheels are mounted and the car is not known so much there. But I am not sure if that would have some effect on insurance if you have an accident and they find out. On the other hand custom drilling wheels is also not allowed in many countries, as additional drilled holes would have an effect on the original calculated wheel load factor.
Insurance wont cover it. And it needs an inspection before its registered so they will definitely notice it lol going the more expensive option unfortunately. Im also having other issues with it at the moment. Its blowing white smoke on acceleration. Ive pressure tested it and its holding fine. Ive compression tested it and its not losing compression. Changed plugs etc. Runs fine not overheating. But shit loads of white smoke. The car was sitting for about 8 months. Changed oil etc. I cant seem to find the fault and the mechanic cant either. Im thinking valve seals? But im beyond confused about it. Also i cant seem to get a brake pedal when i bleed the brakes. Ive changed the rear cylinders and the front ones dont need changing. Im thinking master but its not leaking and seems to be pumping so im double confused lol
A suggestion to your brake problem - ensure that you have the bare minimum of clearance at the top of the pedal stroke before it starts to push on the master cylinder. Any wasted motion at the top end will be multiplied down into the stroke.
