I have a spare speedline and I am in North Manchester but will just need to check if it is a 6" when I get home. no problem running 2 x 5.5 on the front and 2 x 6" on the rear.

Hi all, Thanks for the replies.

How much would you want for the wheel? (if its the right size).

Thanks again.

But your car is a 2wd whereas this chap's is a 4wd & there will be a weight imbalance which could affect the 4wd system?

Hi again, I wouldn't have thought it could cause any problems, As the front of the car is heavier than the back anyway so it wouldn't make much of a difference if its just width or weight. The only thing I could see bothering it is different heights. I will measure my wheels to check on the differences.

Also after trying the 4x4 system with the car on ramps, with the diff lock off, it only drives 1 wheel, & with the diff lock on it drives 2; a front & a back.

Hope that clarifies the 4x4 system a little.

It's merely driving the least resistive wheel per axle, common to all standard diff axles.
On my Quattro, they strongly recommend using the same tyres all round, to avoid stress on the system and ensure proper functioning of the abs, traction control etc. your concern will be stress on an already weak 4wd system. Your best get is to fit a tyre of the same size all round and one that fits both 5.5 and 6 rims in the mid range of tyre size overlap. Either a 175 or 185 tyre size would be best at my guess.

Tyres the same height are essential on the 4 wheel drive system to stop transmission wind up i.e fit all new tyres or all identically worn tyres not a combination of 2 part worn and 2 new. The width doesn't matter as long as the side wall height is the same.Haven't checked the wheel yet but it will be £25 if the right size?

I would definitely advise against mixing 6j and 5.5j on a 4x4. If possible have a matching set of tyres too ( same make and size). The difference in width of the rim will translate to an overall height difference and rolling circumference due to one pair of tyres being more stretched on the rim.

A friend of mine had a Subaru Forester that had untold transmission problems due to someone fitting the wrong size tyres at one end and they're much tougher than BX 4x4's!

Wouldn't want to risk it myself.

Do you really think 1/4" each side will make any difference to side wall height / running circumference? I don't although I do agree you are better running all the same size wheel then you have the option of swapping wheels around from front to back whilst monitoring wear.

Re: Some Parts Wanted.

Hi again, Thanks for all the input. If it will cause problems then it would be better for me to look for 2x 5.5j wheels then. I wouldn't have thought it would make a difference, but I'm no transmission specialist.

Also looking at the bodywork, it would probably be better for me to look for a set of meteor stickers instead of just a wing with them already attached, as really it needs respraying, & some of the existing stickers are not the best.

So wanted list at the moment;
-Right front wing in silver.
-Front bumper off a hatchback model, again in silver,
-Set of meteor stickers.
-2x 5.5j (or 3x 6j) alloy wheels in silver.
-Full A/C System.

Thanks again.

Hi again,

Has anyone got any of the above parts they would be willing to sell or swap? Please... 8-[
And/or some information on what other A/C parts would fit out of other cars. :-?

Thanks again.

Hi David

If you look at the post in the gallery page Rust In Peace you may find what you need on there?

I Know Gary replaced the stripes on his lovely Meteor last year with new ones and may be asking where he got them from?

Tim, IIRC Gary bought the NOS ones off E-BAY therefore will be not so easy to find a replacement (if there NLA), maybe Gary can confirm if indeed this was the source of his replacement set ?

Hi again all.

Thanks for the replies;

I have got a front bumper, It just needs spraying to match the car.
I came across some stripes on Ebay, But they are the red & silver ones & not red & black as I need. (they were only for one side anyway).

I remember seeing a full set on Ebay about a year ago; but again they were red & silver.

As I'm only new I still don't know who's who yet :oops: , but are the ones on Gary's car the red & silver ones?

As for swapping parts, I thought it might be helpful to say what I have to swap for the above wanted list;
- 4x Peugeot (406?) 15" alloy wheels
- 4x Citroen Saxo 14" black alloy wheels (but I won't let these go until I have a full set of speedlines).
- Full Fiat Stilo Air con system
- Citroen BX GTi 8 valve engine (with possible failed head gasket? & no gearbox).
- Lots of Fiat Punto bits.
- (Possibly some other odd bits I have forgotten about at the moment).

Yes David my stripes are red/silver
I had mine made up by my cousin who runs a graphics / window tint company he has the pattern on file now so he can reproduce the stripes,(for the hatchback )he did not do the Meteor decal as mine was ok.
You can look him up at J&K Auto Products , Blisworth Northhampton (ask for John)
I am sure he can reproduce the stripes to whatever colour you want.
As he is able to do graphics like this
