Cougar Posted March 23, 2014 Share #26 Posted March 23, 2014 So does this mean the rim has two sets of holes in it? 16 inch 16x7.0 2Crave No. 2 Chrome wheel rim; dual drilled 4x100 / 4x4.5 4x114.3 with a +40 offset.

bongobobny Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share #27 Posted March 23, 2014 Jay, forgot about the sway bar! My thought was more so to shorten the entire stroke of the shock so it bottoms out about 1" shorter than it already does, which would also stiffen up the rear a tad... Jeff, that is exactly what it means! There will all together be 8 stud holes in the wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted March 24, 2014 Share #29 Posted March 24, 2014 From Jim today, Jeff, The 40mm off set will be fine and should be a good looking wheel for your trike. Jim GoochHannigan Motorsport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share #30 Posted March 24, 2014 At least you get a reply from them!! No answer to my PM to them about the thread on TT... Gee, I wonder why Hannigan is not on the top of my favorites list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted March 27, 2014 Share #35 Posted March 27, 2014 Jay, just got the wheels. there nothing like the photo, but I really like them. the spoke part are not set that far back in. (like photo) The chrome does not go all the way back. about like what the wheels you have now. The photo they show is more of an Allusion (sp?) Here are the photos I took just now. these will be perfect. Will check the fitting Friday.

Carbon_One Posted March 27, 2014 Share #36 Posted March 27, 2014 Wheels look great. Are they a 5 lug bolt? I thought Hannigan used 4 bolt hubs/axles? Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 27, 2014 Share #37 Posted March 27, 2014 Thanks Larry , They do !! they are 4 but I thing there is 4 more in there. for a different hub. like a 4.5 have not taken the center cover off yet , there is a emblem that goes into the center as well. had them approved by Jim G.

ragtop69gs Posted March 27, 2014 Share #38 Posted March 27, 2014 I figured the hub would be at the outside of the wheel, they'd have to be with the offset. I am disappointed that the wheel is not chromed all the way back though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 28, 2014 Share #39 Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) OK so far I got the Wheels/Tires Mounted.. side note: FedEx dropped the tires off at the wrong addy.. that took a extra day to find them! Here are some photos of the 16 wheel with out the center cover on it . You also MUST get 8 more of this type lug nut shown in on of these photos. I think this looks far better then the polished alum wheels. now to send off the front for chrome this winter. I will take a few more when I finish them you tomorrow. it is a close fit, however the trike is still jacked up.

ragtop69gs Posted March 29, 2014 Share #40 Posted March 29, 2014 Jeff, are your old wheels pitted? If not would you want to sell them? I'd be sending them out to be powder coated. The reason I wanted new ones is because Jeannie's are pitted, the previous owner never took care of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 29, 2014 Share #41 Posted March 29, 2014 Jay, No they are not Pitted at all. The Tires look brand new on the rims, (Michelins) all weather. they also have $40 worth of Ride-On in them as well. Make and Offer :-) I also want to see how these new ones work first tho. another thing to keep in mind is that the shipping would be outrageous .

Cougar Posted March 29, 2014 Share #42 Posted March 29, 2014 Forgot to mention that the wheels will hold a regular wheel weight no tape on strips. One wheel and tire took no weights , the other took 3 OZ. [ATTACH]83088[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]83089[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share #43 Posted March 29, 2014 Is the old and the new the same height i.e. diameter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 29, 2014 Share #44 Posted March 29, 2014 pretty close, the 15's are 195/60 R15 , the 16's are 195/55 R16 so I think about a 1/4 inch taller ? Damn I am so glad this project is DONE Could not have done it right with out you guys Thanks! I am really glad I did it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 29, 2014 Share #45 Posted March 29, 2014 Is it my Imagination or does the Trike corner better with 16's on it ? Just came back from a short 30 mile ride to stir up the Ride-On and man I love the Kumho Tires. heck maybe its the wheels . My Michelins didn't have that much wear on them at all.

bongobobny Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share #46 Posted March 30, 2014 Yes it will! You have less sidewall height so they will not flex as far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
