N14 Pulsar SSS wheels - straight fitment to NA6?

Postby mightyrollaman » Thu May 31, 2007 7:46 pm

I've come across a cheap set of N14 SSS alloys and am thinking it would be an easy way to get into a set of 14x6 alloy track wheels. Does anyone know if the standard NA6 studs and nuts suit them?

Just trying to avoid the problem a friend of mine recently had with differing taper nuts between Honda and Suzuki.

Cheers.

yes they fit, they are 4x100 pcd like the mx5, but the centrebore is 59mm compared to the mx5's 54mm...

you can get those spacers for the centrebore. i have them on my aftermarket wheels as well. you can pick them up from any tyre place.
Offset is what I would be concerned about.
arn't most FWD about +55mm or something mad?

should fit
but you need the hub ring
stock MX wheels wont fit on a pulsar
but pulsar ones will fit on an mx

most mag wheel shops should be able to get hub rings
and wheel nuts have the same taper ie self centering unlike hunda's!

I always understood a normal FWD offset to be in the low to mid 30mm range, that is certainly what the majority of aftermarket wheels are.
