[Haveit]

Its near me as well,might have a bash at them?

[Burgerman]

127 rather than 114.3 studs?

He may have it wrong...

They are 1 bit wheels though, and are 18s.

Hi guys,

The Startech wheels with the 127 stud pattern are for the late 2008 & Newer Chrysler Grand Voyager as well as the 08-10 shape Jeep Cherokee.
That seller has listed them correctly.

Be nice on a ramp van, especially with the nice body kits the Entervans / Rollx conversions have.

[Haveit]

thanks for the link! don't know what to do......

[Burgerman]

Be patient, keep checking, and more new split rim 19s will appear... They always do.

[Haveit]

yes, i am going to wait, like the split rims better..........I hate waiting!

[Burgerman]

If you are going for runflat tyres, as I did, (disability means I cant swap a wheel) then keep your eye on those too. They are stupid prices and its very volatile.

I fitted the Pirelli run flats (P ZEROS) as I like Pirelli tyres and they have proven to be a good choice and give a smooth ride compared to what I expected from previous experience with runflat tyres. I would fit them again.

http://lovetyres.com/tyre/Pirelli-P-Zero Currently £228 from here... Try to find a chair! That's as cheap as they have been anywhere, for about 1 year.

Of course non runflats, and cheaper brands are a *lot* cheaper. But you usually do get what you pay for with tyres.

I have mailed Germany a few times and they say they can't get the split rims any more!! the others aint as nice....

[Burgerman]

No idea!

[Haveit]

i got some joy but the pitch is different? do you think they willstill fit? they are ET32?
19 x 8.5J ET 32, (114.3 X 5 STUD) WHEELS

[Burgerman]

Pitch?

They look the same to me.. What's pitch?

The ET looks like they just have the wrong figure. But even then its almost the same.

[Haveit]

Dear Paul

I still have one set with the Startech split rims
but the ET is a little different. It is ET32 on those wheels

they are 19 x 8.5J ET 32, (114.3 X 5 STUD) WHEELS

It´s 100% original, brand new Startech wheels in boxes

Please let me know if You are interested …This is very rare rims, I can make a little discount but not very much ….
If you would like to buy those rims I will check for shipping costs to UK… I do also have some other Startech parts to diverse car

THIS IS WHAT HE SAID?

[Haveit]

Hello Paul,

Yours car is Grand Voyager 4th generation = RG
It should be:

19 x 8.5J ET 35, (114.3 X 5 STUD) WHEELS

The rims I have are :

19 x 8.5J ET 32, (114.3 X 5 STUD) WHEELS

I did check with wheel offset calculator with for example 245/45 19 tires
:
ET35
ET32
Diameter
678.6mm
678.6mm
Circumference
2131.9mm
2131.9mm

the only difference is offset / ET is 35 - 32 = 3mm

Compared to ET35 wheel, this wheels will have an inner rim which is 3mm further away from the suspension strut.
The outer rim will poke out 3mm more than ET35.
I´m advertising those Startech rims for 12500SEK but can sell them for you for 11500SEK + shipping
Please let me know
they are £1100!

[Burgerman]

3mm is irrelevant. Will have zero affect.

Buy them.

If it IS important for some reason, you can just unbolt the rims, add 2 tiny 6mm washers at every bolt between the rim and the centre, and you are at ET35 regardless...

[Haveit]

Have you seen how much! I like them but that's nearly x3 what u paid!!!

[Burgerman]

Well unless you wait, and watch ebay, you don't have a choice.

[Haveit]

I was going to buy them until read that they will stick out 3mm more than the ET35, reading that yours only miss by about 1mm will cause the door to foul when opening?? AmI right with this calculation?

[Burgerman]

If it IS important for some reason, you can just unbolt the rims, add 2 tiny 6mm washers at every bolt between the rim and the centre, and you are at ET35 regardless...

Possibly. I think they will just fit. Depends on actual van as to if they will just touch rear doors when open. But simple to fix anyway.

Fit one of these behind every rim/centre bolt...

Or a thinner one. Whatever is needed. The advantage of split rims.

[Haveit]

will that not make them actually wider? as ET35 are closer together than ET32, so actually fitting a washer will make them wider still? I need to make sure before i pay out! I need to google split rims???

[Burgerman]

No. It will move the RIM inboard slightly by the thickness of the washers.

[Haveit]

I have been told there maybe issues wit balance and using the washers etc i do not really want to do!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-Startech- ... 51b8488f20
will they fit? i could get them cleaned up and coated gun metal!!

[Burgerman]

I have built wheels and stuff for 180mph drag bikes. Trust me a ring of washers as spacers will not cause ANY issues! You were talking to an idiot.

And as I said, they likely wont even need it...

Did you buy them?

You can fit any Dodge Caliber wheels to a 2001-2008 Chrysler Grand Voyager or Dodge Grand Caravan BUT the center bore of the wheel has to be altered.

Dodge Caliber, HUB - CENTER BORE 67.1mm

Voyager / Caravan, HUB - CENTER BORE 71.6mm

That is the diameter... A difference of 4.5mm

Caliber wheels would need 2.25mm shaving off the circumference inside. (correct me if im wrong)

Look up a company in your area that does alloy wheel repairs to enquire milling the bore, then you could look for 2-piece startech wheels for a Dodge Caliber.

[Burgerman]

Its easier to machine 2.25 from the hubs, any small / medium lathe and about 10min a corner.

I waited!

[Burgerman]

Yep, patience works if you have any!

Now you just need 4x 245/45-19 RunFlat Pirelli P Zeros!

Wait till you see the price. Good tyres though, and no more worries about punctures.

[Haveit]

I was just about to buy those from sweden and clicked a link that you posted on here! they were at the bottom.....newly listed
just if he will ship to the uk??
