Rear Wheels for Jag Based Viper

Is anyone interested in a pair of BRAND NEW Halibrand wheels (from Image Wheels) that designed to fit the rear of a Jag based Viper kit?

Details are :-
  • 17" wheels with Anodised rims
  • Fitted with brand new (unused) Kumho tyres
I believe that the tyres are 255's on the back but I can't remember, so I'd have to check this evening. I can post images if required. Anyone interested then either PM me or post on this thread.

Cheers...

Re: Rear Wheels for Jag Based Viper

This is a deliberate attempt to scare the wits out of me isn't it Iain?

Unfortunately my kits Sierra based (4 stud) but my 17" Halibrands with 255 tyres are in the post, due to arrive in the next day or two!! Am I going to encounter problems? Why do you need to change yours? oh God...

Its ok... I'll just modify the arches... or change the springs... or... or

How can you do this to me???
Please tell me its just cosmetic...
Panicking!

Re: Rear Wheels for Jag Based Viper

Don't worry, it's nothing serious!

My rear shocks and springs are wrong, even though they were purchased from Ken "Knob" Cook along with the kit. I am therefore looking at a complete re-design of the rear suspension. I will be getting some shortened driveshafts and wishbones which will enable me to have dished wheels, I will be removing the standard Jag radius arm and instead bracing (triangulating) the wishbones. I will then just fit one shock either side.

So, the wheels are absolutely fine and dandy! They are just up for sale so that I can buy some new ones with a dish!

I will eventually get round to putting them in the classifieds if I get no interest direct through the Viper forum...

Cheers...

Re: Rear Wheels for Jag Based Viper

I really was worried there, good for the heart apparently!
You really do like pain don't you!?
Personally, I'm afraid to go near any of that pre set geometry...maybe when I don't have to worry about the big list of other jobs that I have to do...

Back to looking forward to Friday's delivery for me...even more excited now!
Good Luck with the sale. Club mag is going to press this week but you might still make it into this issue.
Cheers

Re: Rear Wheels for Jag Based Viper

Iain I told you about taking self portraits.

Just a thought, have you considered ringing IMAGE and asking them if the offset they use on your wheels will fit other makes like GD or even a Jag based Sumo.

EXCUSE ME! TINKA!

You do realise that's my best side....

Not thought about ringing image but worth a try...

Selling these wheel does have a great impact on whether I can go the shortened route...

Cheers...
