Wheels
Re: Wheels
Without wanting to state the obvious, all 3 are different.
EH wheel rims are dimensionally the same as FE, FC, FB, EK & EJ. These all interchange except FE & FC have the old style larger valve hole.
HD rims have a different offset & their centre is quite different in appearance, although they do have the advantage of clearing disc brake calipers.
HR (sedan & wagon) look the same as HD rims, but have a different offset yet again. HR rims can be identified by a small (2-3mm) hole in one of the ridges between the stud holes. HR ute & van got HD rims.
You can use any of these rims on earlier models, just make sure you fit them in matching sets, which is why I posted the info above.

Re: Wheels
Thanks for that info Dr Terry. I have a set of new EH brake drums which i want to use on my FB however i know I have to use the later wheels as well. Do you or anybody know what the offset differences is for the three types of wheel? Thanks, Fraze
Re: Wheels
Fraze,
EH wheels can be used with EH brakes. The later series of wheels are back-compatible, though.
