Forum: Third Generation Magna TE - TW

Hay all I own a TH sports engines got 260km havent driven it in a week i started it up this morning a fair bit of blue smoke came from the exhaust. My engine is the 147kw 3.5l. Im wanting to get a 155kw 316nm engine from the wreckers low km. Wondering how much these are at wreckers now? There is...

G'day people, Just wondering wether anyone has any 16 inch steel rims lying around they want to get rid of, I know that the 380 and BA Falcoon come with 16" steel rims. Would either or both of these fit a TE?

Hey Guys, I'm after a little assistance here.. I've recently scored some 17x7.5" ET35 Alloys for a good price and fitted 235/45/17.. All looks OK, just inside the guard on the front and Not over track.. still within spec. Only issues I have now is at time quite severe tram-lining and bump...

I'm eyeing off some 17 X 8" second-hand rims to use for the track (I have been using 16X7" rims, want more width). I know 8" wide rims fit with no problem when they are +35 offset, but what about +40? Will they foul on the inside with 235/45/17 tyres? I'm almost certain they will fit with no...

Just wondering if anyone has these rims on their 3rd gen? Anyone have any pics, did a search but couldn't find any, so if someone could save me from trawling through the rest of the members machines posts it'd be much appreciated!

Hi all. Searched a few threads which gave part answers but were not ES specific Just wondering if 17" wheels are legal in Victoria on a TL ES which came stock with 15" I am looking to upgrade to alloys and would like to eke it out to 17's if I can but am concerned re the legality and...

what do most of you guys have on your cars? i've got my eye on some nice mags, they only come in 17". can anyone who has 17" mags please show me some pics, i'm just wondering if they'd look a bit small. I'm yet to get my car lowered but I think i'll get the wheels first. Thanks :D

I read something last week on the forums that a suspension kit or something is needed when you fit 17s on a 3rd gen. It didn't register at the time but now it's hit home I'm getting concerned and I can't find where I read it. Anyone got the heads-up for me with this?

I'm running 17" CSA Prowler Mags with 235/45 R17 KUMHO ECSTA 711 Rubber Just wondering what the recommended tyre pressures would be front & rear? Thanks.

looking at throwing some 17" mags onto the solara and was just wondering what sort of speedo differance would happen ( currenty got 15" mits alloys)

Hey, 17' x 7' rims will fit 225 tyres, won't they? How is ride affected and handling should be improved a little, shouldn't it? Asthetically, they'd look good, wouldn't they? Thanks, Redav p.s. (yeah, I know I posted this to MOGWA and CAA too)

I know these will fit, but will they be too far in the car? What is the stock offset for the 17X7 wheels on GTV or VRX models? And I heard they have something different with their control arms if someone could please clear it up? I would run 215/55 or 225/50 depending what's cheaper

Hey all, Can anyone confirm that 17x7 rims with a 35 positive offset will fit a TJ. they are 5x114.3, really just worried by the offset. cheers

Just thought I'd post this thread... not sure if its been done yet. A few facts/some info: - insurance companies do not like 7.5" wide rims fitted to 2nd gen magnas - 7" is the widest. Not sure about legalities? - 235/45/17 wide tyres are the only ones that match 205/65/15 factory tyres as...

hey guys, thanks to a fellow AMC member, I’ve just hooked up a set of some nice looking 17" rims for the TF. As the rims had no tread left, I'm now on the hunt for some new tyres, however I have a dilemma. I've been doing my research by going over some older threads and came up with the...

Fitted some rims to my car... Nice improvement I reckon. https://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g35/z0mgluke/wheel18.jpg Full shots of car later.

how much do you think these 18inch chromes would be worth? I dont like them on my car, I bought it with them on it already. I want to sell them. Any ideas how much they would be worth? I will sell them with tyres, 2 tyres are like brand new and 2 would need replacing.
