![]() Hi all,
I'm after a very cheap set of 15/16in steel wheels with tyres so i can get my chassis on wheels if anyone has any? Preferably near surrey area so I can pick them up. Ben

![]() 14" are OK too, my build wheels were that size. Sierra did come with 13" and 14" wheels.

![]() If you put the rears on inside out just for the build smaller wheels will fit as it will avoid that long bolt. Have u tried local scrap yards?

you need a bolt only just long enough and if 14" steels fit 15" alloys will only just fit! |

![]() I had to cut my bolts to 233 mm. This way there is one turn of the thread above the nylon. This way the wheel fits, but the clearance is minimal
