HK rims on a FB
HK rims on a FB
Since the PCD of a HK & flare the same, back space is a little out and they come in a 14". Can you run them on a FB with drums front and rear? Looking at these maps on flea bay

Re: HK rims on a FB
I run HT rims on mine. But I have LH discs on the front. Rears are fine. Do a search on here it's been covered many times. I'm just struggling a bit to remember.

these are what i have coys 15 x 6 with 15/50/195 which = standard 13 tyres , if you are going to lower it heaps you might want to find a LJ diff

Actually you don't, you just need rims with the right backspace to give clearance. Mines lowered heaps but I run a standard width rim. The Torana diff is more for a dished looked to your rim. Check out Oli's wagon on here ( formerly Trev's).

The hk 14" rim runs a differnt offset to the hg and ht ,they will hit on the front with oem drums.
I had this issue they other weekend.
This is hg ht steelie on the front no rubbing issues it was the hk (with oem holes around the center rim) steelie that wouldnt roll when the wheel nuts where done up.

Re: HK rims on a FB
I run HT wheels with 2 inch lowered on standard brakes with no problems. just remember to change the wheel nuts to suit, FE/EK have a 60 degree taper and HT HG have a 40 degree taper.

Gday fb cruisin,
im looking for wheel nuts to suit the hg rims as i have the std fb ones on at the moment, a ebay site selling nuts says correct 60 degree to suit hg rims, could you be sure 40 degree taper is what i should be looking for.
Thanks mate

Re: HK rims on a FB
Some of you guys just know too much. Sometimes you make me feel stupid.
Re: HK rims on a FB
Alright here's a test. I have toranan discs on front end and the stud thread takes a 12 x 1.5 nut, I'm running original rims so need the 60deg taper. Is there an original but that has this combination??
Re: HK rims on a FB
Why is it metric ? Have you changed the studs ? Should be 7/16"UNF .....stucross wrote:Alright here's a test. I have toranan discs on front end and the stud thread takes a 12 x 1.5 nut, I'm running original rims so need the 60deg taper. Is there an original but that has this combination??
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: HK rims on a FB
yeah its a good point, I don't really know. I had a custom place change original front end to HR and the replacement disc pads are torana, so have just assumed entire disc assembly and studs would be too. But 12x1.5 definitely go on, so yeah maybe the early commodore nuts are the way to go.
