Hello all, I have managed to purchase some 18" Spider Wheels 3 Rears and one front !!!

I would like to know if anyone has a front for sale, or would like to swap a rear for a front?



I am in Kettering, Northamptonshire.

Many thanks!

Are you fitting these to a Chim?...only your profile shows you own a Chim....unless you also have a Cerbie!If you are fitting to a Chim you will need an upgrade from 4 stud to 5 stud pattern...and even then are you sure 18's will go under the arches?

Secondly,if you are fitting to a Cerbie you would have been better of to have got fronts cos the offset allows you to fit straight on, the rears rub the arches and some cosmetic work is required....

guess you may need to exchange 3 rears for 3 fronts

You can fit 18" spiders without modifications or "cosmetics" provided you get the wheels intended to be fitted on the front of a Tuscan, as the offset is correct for a Cerbera.(The rears have a different offset, which usually means that the tyres will probably rub on the inner side of the wheel arches..hence the cosmetics!). I also beleive that you should stay with either a 35 or 40 profile tyre.
