[DeTomaso] Kodiak Racing Wheels

[Lashdeep Singh]

Good feedback, thanks.

These are potentially for a non-Detomaso but would still need to be widened.

I am hoping that it can be accomplished on the front lip and not the rear barrel. Maybe some spacers would help also.

Any thoughts on HRE wheels?

Thanks,
LS

Daryl at Kodiak (also owns Fikse wheels) is a great guy and a friend of Coz whom organized a group buy back in 2006 time frame. From that group buy I also have a never mounted set of the STX with R8888 tires for a wide body if you are looking to invest in a new old stock set. They were purchased for my '74 Group 4 conversion, but that never happened yet.... and not sure I want to go that route any longer.

   Good feedback, thanks.

   These are potentially for a non-Detomaso but would still need to be
   widened.

   I am hoping that it can be accomplished on the front lip and not the
   rear barrel. Maybe some spacers would help also.

   If widening you would need to assure yourself the offset is correct on
   the one half and that you can add width in the direction of your
   choice. Other manufacturers hoops should work if you can verify they
   have the same bolt pattern spacing.

   Anyone with experience using these?
   I am looking at a used set and would like to widen two of them from 9"
   to 10-11".
   Can you use wheel halves from any other manufacturer besides Kodiak
   themselves?
   I called them today and they only keep a small supply of spare parts on
   hand and that some pieces are backordered six months or more.
