Slammed Posted June 30, 2008 Author Report Posted June 30, 2008 tjose are 5j's are these 5's or 6's as he says there 6's but i need some confirmation by everyone else get it right!
V8ian Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 The only way to really check is pop a tire off and measure the distance of the inside edge of the rim, thats the only way to be sure, other than that if you look at the hub there may be a stamping that will tell you the size, but as these rims can easily be 30 years old there may be a lot of paint on them, It may be possible to check the size by cutting 2 pieces of 2x1 so they just fit inside the rim lip, put one piece in each side of the rim and pass a cable tie or two around the pieces of wood holding them together, this will enable you to measure the two faces of the rim with the tire on, I would think if they are 6s the distance between the two faces will be around 6.2 and 6.3"taking into account the thickness of metal of the rims, anything below 6.1" they are not 6" but 5.5s.
bigglesmk2 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Posted June 30, 2008 The only pic's could find of my lotus steels.(mine are deffo 5.1/2 j coz its stamped on the wheel) The ones your've posted up look like propper lotus steels and should be 5.1/2j , but i think a small number of 6j were made but there quite rare .I dont think you will know for sure till you take a tyre off to see the stamp
Slammed Posted July 1, 2008 Author Report Posted July 1, 2008 stampimg on the wheels are 6881.A are they 6's? or 5's as 5's dont have a dot do they
cortinaman Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 This is what my 6j s look like - It's a bit difficult to say whether yours are 5.5j or 6 from your pics.
antz Posted July 1, 2008 Report Posted July 1, 2008 my old lotus steels has 5 1/2x13 stamped on them. but you dha to take the wheel off to see it.
