I admit it, I have a WHEEL fetish. Am I the only one?
I HATE my factory skinny VW looking wheels. 13x5's are
not what I want. I want 13x7 rear and 13x5.5 up front
PERIOD. I know this goes against many of your pusrist
opinions, so don't hate me. At least I did not cram a
350 short block in it. It's all stock except for the
Weber/Header. I just LIKE THAT LOOK! Maybe I will
outgrow it one day, but at 36 I am still into it as
far as Spitfires go.
Here is the question, I am looking at Diamond Wheels
(Only option in those sizes I can find and Panasport
does not offer 13x7 for street use, race only which
means $$$).
1) What size studs are factory?
2) Are stock wheels Hub Centric or Lug Centric?
3) What size is the factory lug nut?
The reason I ask is, the Diamond wheels are LUG
centric (and I "think" the Spitfire is HUB Centric).
They only offer a 7/16 stud hole in the 4 on 3.75"
pattern. So, I dont think I can use a tappered factory
lug nut with these Lug Centric Wheels, I think I need
MAG style lugs for the LUG centric wheel.
But, I want to keep my factory studs for sure. As far
as lugs, I dont care if I have to buy new ones as long
as the marriage works correctly with my factory studs.
Yes, I have air shocks and a new spring. No, my car
does not hop higher than beer cans!
Thanks for your help!
If ANYONE has 13x7's and 13x5's or 13x5.5's that will
work for me (lugs included), please let me know!
THANKS
Shane
