I saw someone (somewhere on the net? Might have been a link off here??) plug & weld all the holes up, grind back and clean to make a set of 20" smoothies for a slammed American pick-up. It looked AWESOME!
Just need to try and find the link now.....

like the 20's  No idea what i could ever put them on though. I have a desire for oversized, tucked steels at the moment, in a toy car kind of way. Toy cars always seem to have oversize wheels. |

My Jag could probably deal with 20's, but the tyres would be so expensive i'd be frightened to give it any beans and wear them out, cant be doing with a car i cant thrash about occasionally, i have been thinking about trying some old XJ6 steels on it though.  |

Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.

I posted the thread originally can't find the link now though and google search turns up nothing. I've got a pair in the garage that i'm gonna weld the holes up on and use on the back of the hot rod.

I saw an amazing looking Cossie powered Corsair on those in Retro Ford in early 2008, gave me the right horn. A great example of how everything has potential to work if applied correctly. |

Matt Luckily I bookmarked what I found following on from your thread.     From here; smg.photobucket.com/albums/v179/ovaljed/panel%20truck/?start=0There is a build thread for his truck somewhere too. |

This opens up some further questions about what other large vehicles out there may have a steel spare or space saver which could be banded to make a cool steel wheel.
5x5" PCD fits Dodge trucks (yeah), Jeep Grand Cherokee, full size Lincoln, Mercury and some Ford Galaxie and LTD, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, Buick, Impala SS, some Chevy station wagons, Chevy Astro, Humber Hawk, Humber Imperial, Rover P4, P5, P5B, P6, SD1, Austin Westminster, Austin/Morris Landcrab, Austin 3 litre, Commer PB van, Mk1 Mk2 Transit, etc etc etc
Now then whats the spare on say an Audi A8 or a Lincoln Navigator or Lexus LS600 etc? Hmmm....

My Jag has a steel spare,  The XJR had pretty big alloys on it (19's?) couldn't tell you if the spare is increased in size to match though. |
