Surf Train

[g3po]

Maybe going to buy 4 wheels and tyres in Cromer in Norfolk need to get them to Glasgow or closer to, don't know what they weigh and have put it to bid on Shiply courier website without much luck any suggestions ?
Don't fancy paying fuel for the 756 mile round trip.

p.s. they are currently fitted to a brava pick up and the guy says they fit a L200 so i take it they'll fit a surf ?

This lot will get them to you as 4 separate parcels for around £20 each

Insurance is around £7 extra per £150 value

Try G-Whizz couriers

I got 4 wheels delivered from the middle of England to the middle of Scotland last week. The tyres were barely legal so I asked the seller to have them removed before dispatch. A number of couriers responded to my Anyvan quote request, the cheapest of which was £38. I appreciate your tyres may be in good shape and therefore more expensive for carriage but Anyvan may be worth a go as well as Shiply.

thanks for responses any idea what weights in an alloy wheel and tyre ?

[s car go]

27KG per whel and tyre!

I had four 18" alloys and tyres shipped to France last year,as Yoshie said, in 4 parcels,but one lot.I paid £68
I can thourghly recommend www.parcelsplease.co.uk For you it would be £9 a wheel,and includes insurance. Use the DPD by road service and the driver will bring all the shipping labels to the collection address.

I have a set of those in the above ad on my 3rd gen. They are from an L200. They fit in terms of PCD, centre bore, number of studs, but without the 30mm spacers , the front ones would not have fitted.

OK so 30mm spacers required also, does that mean if they had gone on they would have had a narrower stance, therefore fit 30mm spacers to get back to original width ?

Im not saying you will need spacers. I have no idea what your wheels look like or what the offset is. Without the spacers mine fouled on something ( brake calipers). You may not need them, depends on the wheel and the offset.

Ok thanks for the warning Bogus

do you think these will fit the surf ?

[BUSHWHACKER]

Yes they will fit no problem, but make sure you paint your brake drums black before you fit them.

Will they need the spacer's tho ? What I'm to get my head round is that they look as tho the centres are deeper, as if when fitted the wheels would sit out further than standard.

You won't need spacers as they have some negative off-set.
I've had a couple of Surfs here with L200 wheels on and their stance was the same as a standard Surf.
You'll only have rubbing problems if you go for bigger tyres, the tyres advertised with those wheels are standard Surf size.

Thank you for all your answers much appreciated.
