RA Colt rims?

[ozdusterdave]

Anyone know what model mitsubishi rims if any are interchangable with early Colt..if cordia turbo rims will fit an RA Colt and what size they were.?cheers.

Galant, Sigma, Magna, Starion, Cordia..... pretty much anything 4x114.3pcd. just need to get the right offset.

Sigma and Starion will fit but are the wrong offset. GA to GD Galant will fit but are no different in size to the Colt (bit of a waste of time). Magna (4 stud), Cordia, fwd Galant and most Hyundai will fit. If you go for an aftermarket fwd rim make sure it has recesses for the front disc hub bolts (easy to get caught out with buying alloy wheels) and 15x6" wheels will cause the inner wheel walls to just touch the rear shocks.

Everything 4x114.3 will "fit" but depending on offset if they hit inside, fit or stick out. Look around +40 to +25 offset and you will be okay up to 6 inch wide.

Thanks guys,I was looking at a set of cordia rims on gumtree and just wondering...

I had the 13 inch Cordia rims on a Colt years ago, the 14 inch versions wouldn't be a problem either. Neither are a wide rim, I think they are only 5 or 5.5 inches wide.

I would be aiming at the Magna elite rims myself for a Colt.
These ones.

They are 15x6, and ofcourse Front drive offset. They are same stud pattern etc, and they bolt straight up to a Colt. My brother in-law has seen a set on a Colt.

it's a common mod to put late 80's- early 90's hubs, brakes and wheels on cordia's, might be possible to convert it to a Colt

Upgrading the Colt's front brakes are dead easy. Use the entire hub and brake assembly off either - Cordia (1.8 l turbo/non turbo) Nimbus and I think the TM-TP Magna might also get a mention here (I heard the last of the TP Magnas had slightly bigger brakes than previous models and were an option for the Cordia turbo guys to use). I used Cordia turbo hub assemblies on my Colt and required no mods to install. Go from pizza cutter non vented discs to vented discs and bigger pads. I went the whole hog and had my calipers die ground and powder coated, teflon sleeved stainless steel braided hoses and metal composite pads. I did as a precaution replace my ball joints in the off chance the taper would be different but these were Colt ball joints anyway. There are 2 types - left and right matched pairs and universal (I used the universal 'BJ 409' from Pedders parts listing)
