When you have the wheels off next can you measure the inside diameter where the caliper runs as I would love to run these on mine but my front calipers measure 198mm from the centre of the hun to the outside or 396 diameter.

I should have the back wheels off this weekend Simon, so I will measure them. I'm only running LH torana calipers on the front.

Hope this helps Simon, looks like you will need bigger wheels than these.
