Hi I will most likely be getting a Griff in the future and am currently breaking my cossie. I think i read somewhere that the griff is a 4x108 PCD. Is that correct?

I currently have these wheels.........

and noticed that they are same style as the OZ ones that came with some of the Griffs.

Ford centre bore is 63.2 is this the same as on the Griff? The wheels are 17x9 ET 27 and 17x8 ET 24 on the front.

Do most people run a staggered diameter or is it just a few of you? as I have seen people run 18s on back 17s on front or 17s on back and 16s on front. Is thus just purely to fill the arch a bit more? or any other reason?

I also have a set of 996 calipers and 324mm discs that used to make a big brake conversion on the cossie so hopefully I can get these on the griff if i knock up a set of brackets for the calipers i presume?

Cheers

Andy

You are correct they are the same pcd and centre bore as a Ford, however you may require spacers as they usually run a lower offset.

Griffs usually run ET 25 & ET 40. The later Griffs ran the same diameter wheels, the earlier ones ran 1" larger on the rear.

Brakes, yup, with the right bracket they should just bolt straight on. I've got a drawing of a radial mount bracket for a Griff if it helps. There's a lot of Ford running gear in there, you'd probably find quite a few parts will come in useful as spares yes

Just checked, my fronts are 17X8 ET25, rear 18X9 ET40. That's a fair difference in offset.

Just expounding the theory of relativity wink Best to start comparisons from the origin IMHO (something like 7,5J et25 Front & et33 Rear?)

OP, rear are in general Ford offset, fronts Peugot IIRC.
