Brat Wheel Questions


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone,

 

I was looking to get new wheels for my 82 brat GL in the US, I was looking to get these: https://mossmotors.com/minilite-style-bolt-on-wheels-4 . Will the 14"x5.5" fit? I really like the old Enkei wheels and want to get these aluminum ones and get them coated gold for that really cool look. Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks everyone!

No,the bolt circle is too small.You need 4 x 140mm,not  4 x114.5mm

Where did it even say that on website? I couldn't find it lol

 

Do you know of any wheels that are similar to the Enkeis that they sell new? 

Thanks for the help!

The 5.5" bolt pattern equates to 139.7 mm, so closer to 140 mm for the Brat. A 4.5" wheel is equivalent to 114.3 mm.

OP,  you may want to research the hub bore size. These wheels may not clear the hub bore. If you see the original hubs on the EA 81's that are bolted to rotors, there are four alignment protusion's on each hub that the wheels clear and center around. The wheels in the link appear to have much smaller hub bores, but that is just based on the pictures.

Read more carefully,5.5" is the wheel width,not the bolt pattern.
