Default 740 wheels on 940





I am looking at replacing my 940 wheels with something like those shown on this 740. My hub has a slightly protruding centre and the wheel has a centre hole into which a plastic cap fits. Can anyone tell me if the wheels of the 740 shown above have an accommodating centre hole? (Both thumbs clickable).
With thanks.

There shouldn't be a problem. The 700 series has that bump too.

Excellent Titan Joe. This may kill a couple of birds with one stone. First it means there is a young man's style of rim for my car.. (the OEM ALY70173U it are so 60 yo businessman). B
eing 16" I also get a chance at some Toyo C1s tyres. Tyres Toyo Proxes C1S - www.iTyre.com I fell in love with these but they don't import the 15" permutations into NZ.
Many thanks for your clarification.

Default 6" v 7" Rims

The above Roh Astron wheels are 16 x 7 inches. If I stick with the 18-22mm offset does that mean that the wheel will be half an inch wider each side? I am contemplating 215 50s. Can anyone with 7 inch rims tell me whether this will work or will I have steering lock/suspension clearance issues?
With thanks.
