Hey all

Looking for some advice on what 14” rims fit an EK drum brake front end

I have some HT pattern 14 x 6 and they have a 4 ½” back space. The original 13’s have on a 3 ½ .
The 14’s hit the tie rod end, is there a 14 with a 3 ½ back space or do I need to get them made?

Cheers

I have them on a HR disc front and I had to get the off-set changed cause I had the same problem.
HT HG have less back space than the HK do but they will still hit.

Cheers Trev

I used some spacers for the short term 5mm did the trick and longer wheel studs. Will get some rims made up.

3 1/2 " Back space should do the trck I think?

Cheers

I ran HT 14 x 5.5s on my last EK (stock front end) with no hassles- the tie rods were close but didnt foul. I think these rims have the same backspace (4.5 inch)
Like Trev I had to get the same rims offset changed to fit on the HR disc front. I put 14 x 6s on the back as they have a similar dish to the reset 5.5s.

What size tyres did you run on the front of the drum brake front end mate?

I used the same tyres on both- 195/75R14s

I am pretty sue the offsets r different on hk verses ht hg

I have a set (3 = 2 front + a spare) with 195/75/14 white wall tyres and an extra Whitewall (4th) if anyone is interested?
Make me an offer .
