16" Granada wheels

[HAYDEN]

Has anyone fitted these to there beloved T25? If so, what was involved? tyre size, spacers, longer studs etc. Thing is I've got the chance to get hold of some, I've been told they are 5 x 112 and the ET is 34 also the centre bore is big enough but being 16" I don't know what size tyres to run, they are wearing 205 x 55 x 16 at the mo.

Cheers.

What a coinsidence. I've just come on here to ask the same thing!

I've test fitted one on the front but they arn't big enough to go over the grease cap. there's a lip round the centre that pretrudes and catches on the grease cap. This lip can be knocked out with a piece of tubing and hammer and then machined smooth but i'm not confident about that so am thinking some spacers and longer wheels bolts. They fit perfect with the grease caps removed.

I'm not sure about the rears as i couldn't get the nuts undone til i get a proper wrench to undo the nuts, but from what i've read they either go straight on or also require spacers and longer studs. However removing the old studs and fitting the longer ones requires some specialist tools i beleive.

This is all what i've read on the internet and there's alot of conflicting opinions!

Can anyone clear it up?!

Yer I understand you can shave 5mm of the grease cap (from 35mm to 30mm) to help, don't know if this affects the speedo cable.
I've already got longer studs on the rear as I had some 18" A8 alloys on but these are just to big thats why I'm thinking of getting the 16's. I was wondering what tyres to run so I don't muck up the rolling radius or does this really matter???
