Rims are 18X8 5/114 ET40 MM A

 

Center ring MM 79.5-64.1

 

Bolt pattern NC12X1.5 34UL 35TL 19H C (5 Bolts each Tire)

 

 

Also 2 other questions;

 

2. Is it possible to get an alloy repaired after it has been warped by a lateral force. I know the safe answer is NO, GET A NEW WHEEL but it is just a query whether it is possible or not.

 

3. what are the disadvantages of running 3 wheels as 18" and 1 wheel as 17" if i make up the total diameter of the 17 to match the total diameter of the 18s by having wider tyres. I guess it would look a bit strange but would you really be able to notice 1" difference by sight?

 

I am just having real problems sourcing an 18" Mille Miglia Action wheel to replace my buckled one so testing my options.

Rims are a little too narrow esecaily on the rear should be 9" wide at least.Centre bore seems ok zed is 66.1.bolt pattern is right but i dont know were you got the tread pitch from 12x1.5 is wrong it should be 12x1.25 .Wheel repair i think alloy wheel repairers can fix buckled wheels to a limit .as for fitting a 17" with a bigger ratio tyre i think this is a bad idea an a mot faluire and may strain diff if wrong rolling radius.

What type of place would repair buckled alloy wheels? Do I look in the Yellow Pages?

The tyre on the buckled wheel at the moment are 225-40-2r-18. Which part of that number relates to the width and how wide does that mean my current wheel is compared to the specs I put up?

What if I put the 17" wheel on the front so diff not affected. I could change the wheels over for the MOT to standard alloys, but will it be illegal / unsafe / bad for the car still?
