navi wheels

i kno there 18's but wut is the width and offset of the navi wheels?

they are 18x7.5 with +39 offset if I am not mistaken. But the bolt pattern is wrong, they only fit because the lug holes on the wheels are so big.

so how are you guys getting them to bolt up tp mighty max's? the bolt holes are off if you tighten one lug nut down none of the rest will tighten because it forces them over to far against the wheel?

they thread all the lugs on and tighten each one a llittle at a time.

The bolt circle of the navis is 135mm the bolt circle of most import 6 lug minis is 139.7, thats almost 5mm off, thats almost a 1/4 inch difference in the pattern, like trying to put s10 wheels (120.6) on a toyota (114.3, a 6.3mm difference).

so most guys arent having them machined just tightening the lugs a little at a time and making them fit? any problems with them coming loose?

there are lots of guys with broken studs, even less that admit it.

Good luck with that. Sounds pretty stupid to me. I'll be sure to steer clear of any coming my way. Why not just get some real wheels? That would be like if I couldn't afford a chop saw, so I just stuck a metal cutting blade in my circular saw and called it done.

some guys DO get them redrilled. They are cheap enough on ebay, like 150 a set for chrome, that redrilling them doesnt make them too expensive for some 18's that tuck. I know machine shops charge 200 for a redrill, if you had a mazda and I told you I had some brand new 18s that tuck for 350 would you buy them?

or like wiggity wayner, he redrilled his hubs to 135.

Yeah, but for those guys that don't do that, why risk it? I have too much time and money in my stuff to not spend a couple extra bucks on having them machined, or even buying a set of wheels. I was patient and waited until I had the money to buy what I was going to roll. I understand in many cases the wheels are temps, just do it right.

yep, I hear you. Its the battle cry of the half assed, they all say "it worked for me".
