OZ Split Rims

[larryb]

Hi

A quick question from a V8S owner ..............

Are the OZ Split Rims on a V8S (15 inch) the same size/off-set etc. as the OZ Split Rims on early Griffs?

Cheers

Larry

I believe so..... standard ford fitting as the S..... (I could be wrong..... looking to get mine refurbed and someone told me just to go down the scrap yard and get wheels off a sierra/granada so I could move the car in/out the garage etc whilst the wheels were away.... I have not checked this out yet)..... Griff wheels though 15" front 16" back

Interesting info ref OZ wheels here with the wedge boys.

I went to the local scrappy expecting to find a plentiful supply of rims but couldn’t find a single one that would fit. May be they rare as per a Granada but you don’t find a lot of those at the scrappy now.

As said before Griff has 15 front and 16 rear, think they are both 7.5 J rims. V8s had 15 front and back.

Well as the Grandadas used 5 stud fittings they won't fit the S or the Griffith, you need Sierra wheels.

I tried this when I bent my wheels, but the steelies wouldn't fit over the brakes (at least not on the back anyhew)! If you need to borrow a space-saver just shout
