I got onto a set of 14x7 R.O.H Hustlers on the weekend from a guy who has HK's etc.
I would love to put a set on my ute but I am not 100% sure on the fitting.
I know the stud pattern is the same and when turned over they seem to have areas where the 5 raised triangles on the hob could sit. But I'm a little unsure as to offset and if the 7's would be too wide. If they are too wide I wouldn't mind doing a little bit of cutting if they rub on the guards etc but if offset is wrong there's not alot you can do there. Except run a small spacer to push the wheel out or machine a bit off the back to bring the wheel in a bit nut hopefully I don't have to cross this bridge.
Has anyone put these (or similer) on a fb / ek and have some advice to offer?
The car will be running the original king front end etc.
Just for reference here's a pic of the hustlers I pulled of Google.
Don't go the spacer route, I know they are advertsied a lot on ebay etc but if you have an accident your insurance company can wipe you. Thats in NSW and as far as I know its still the same
I've got a set of US Racers 14" and I run a kingpin front end and have the same problem, I'm toying with the idea of machining a bit off the inside of the rim and yeah I know the same thing could happen with my insurance company if they found out I'd tampered / modified the rims.
I was talking to Dave at Roadstyle tyre and battery at Londale S.A who is one of the nicest blokes you could ever ask for today and he mentioned that he used to work at R.O.H back in the day. I asked him about the hustler and he said it was in full swing when he was there and is sure it will fit an fb ute with the standard king pin front end etc.
Just need to get a bit more of the folding stuff together and they will be mine! All mine!!!!
