Does anybody know if a Globe rim was made in 14x8" in a torana stud pattern.

I cannot confirm this 100%, i used to run a 14 by 7" globe bathurst on my UC, so i know they made them that wide...

Good luck in your hunt for 14 by 8's!!

Thanks for your reply Keith. Received some information today that suggested to get an 8" wide rim I would have to go to 15x8. This presents another problem.....my current front tyres are 245/50/14 and have minimal clearance when turning sharply. To find a 15" tyre that is no taller than my current 14s (but keeping the same width) I would have to use a 45 profile. To date I can't find a tyre of that size. Can anyone help .

(I have a LX hatch with flares)
