HT Holden Wheels - Fitting to EK Drums.

Post by Mai Ki-Ki »

Just got my 14” HT rims ready to fit up onto my stock EK front and rear drums (got proper 60-degree taper nuts etc. )

My questions are:

1. The rear 13” EK rims do not seem to mount to the centre hub bit tightly, just located and attached via the wheel nuts? 14” rim fits up pretty much the same, seems ok. (haven’t driven it like this yet) :?

2. The front 13” EK rims fit onto the front ‘hub’ spindle fairly loosely (again not tight like I would expect). The HT rims seem to have a slightly larger hole for the centre (very slightly), and i’m not sure if this is correct...? :?

Would like to check others experiences before trying this...?

I have push-through chrome bullets too, which could mounted either outside or push through depending on fitment....rear seemed fine with push throughs.

Should be fine Maiki, I've got discs so mines a little different but that gap will help give the push through bullets some room anyway.

All went on fine in the end. The push thru chrome bullets are all slightly different sizes, so just had to fit the largest two to the front hubs and then everything went on fine......

Raises the whole car slightly, so time to lower the back properly....!

The front doors...?
Yeah this car lives on the street 100% of the time, each year I strip the rust back and do a touch up re-spray. :(
