Bolt on 26R wheel dimension

[Davidb]

Can somebody give me the dimension-I think it is called "set-back" of bolt on 26R wheels?
This is found by placing a straight edge across the back of the rim and measuring down to the bolt/mounting surface of the wheel. Many thanks.

Bolt-on 26R? Pretty rare,surely?

Of course the original bolt on 26R wheels are rarer just like those original 26R Stromberg heads

Maybe the same car?

A number of people on this site have said they use bolt on 26R wheels so I thought this was a simple request! I just bought some used bolt on Revolution wheels and I am trying to establish if the off-set is correct-if they are the same set-back/off-set as bolt on 26R wheels then I thought they must be-Yes?

Roger, how are things on TNF?

Edit: I just followed the link supplied by Rohan and was stunned at the price TT is asking for 26R wheels--six hundred and five quid! Each! Methinks that FIA regulations are costing people far too much.

Those are 7" magnesium, aluminum are much more reasonable!

[Davidb]

Yes I noticed they were wider than 'normal'.
The racer guys are going to use magnesium though aren't they?-very expensive!

I suppose there isn't a huge market for these or somebody would be having them made in China--or maybe that is where they are being made anyway! (Am I too cynical?)

I am still looking for the original reason for this thread-the measurement of the offset of a bolt on 26R wheel... (yes I did a search) Can anyone help?

I would consider these. No relation to this company.

Hi DavidB and CG91.

Not bolt on but I have the Kelsport, alloy, ko version of this wheel for standard 5-pin ko hubs.

6" x 13 - Part Number - RACE26RRWA01

Bill, do you have one off the car that you could measure?
Thanks, David

[john1180]

Sorry for the thread wander. Bill are you using those with the 26r body or your stock car? Any pics?

[bill308]

Hi DavidB.

I measure 4-5/8 inches from the inner rim surface to the hub surface.

Hi John.

The plan is to use these wheels on the 26r project. I'm pretty sure they won't fit under the stock s2 body work. I'll post some pics after my camera charges up.

Here are some photos showing the wheels and measurement.

It appears that the KO and bolt-on are identical with the exception of the 4 bolt holes. I wonder if you could use the bolt-on on a knock off hub? Can't see the machining as the label is covering on the Kelsport site.
