Anyone running 13x6s?

Post by parisian62 »

Hi Everyone,

Is anyone running 13x6 rims and with a 3" drop?

Completely stock front end and rear end but with heavy duty lowered front springs and reset rear leaves.

Any issues for a NSW rego with this setup?

regards

is it blue slip or pink slip ? it shouldn't be a drama for pink slip depending how friendly yor guy is a blue slip they may be a little more fussy, 3" in the front will just about put it on the bump stops

its a blue slip RB...planning ahead for the wagon...

Is anyone running 13x6's rims...? Would they bolt straight on? Would there be any clearance issues with guards or rear quarters?

Stewart,

There are some things I can tell you about what you want to do but would prefer it done via a PM.

I'll give you some more details via a PM tomorrow.
I can't think what to write here so this will do.

i had 3" blocks in the rear of my hg, and when i went for a blue slip i had to take them out...this was in nsw also. he didnt say any thing in about the lowered springs in the front. he just said that the blocks are illegal. but it should be fine for pink slip, depending on your rego bloke.

aidan...
i'll get there....
