Spiders on your Griff

Want the modern 'Spider' wheels on your Griffith? Leven Technology have the answer!

---

Due to the acute shortage of Griffith 500 (Estoril) wheels and combined with a surplus of good second hand 16” spiders from owners of more modern cars upgrading to 18 inch wheels, Leven Technology have come up with a solution that allows Griffith (and Chimaera) owners to use the more modern wheels. Like all these things it was far from straightfoward!

The original Griffith/Chimaera wheels are 4 stud fixing and the spiders use a 5 stud and those hubs aren't interchangeable. Leven has developed a way to modify the existing hubs and brakes, and together with some clever engineering stuff allows the Spider wheels to be used.

The choice of Spider wheels is not down to cost alone though with most owners simply wanting them for their curvaceous looks which perfectly compliment the car's shape. While the test car was a Griffith 500 Leven could see no reason why the conversion could not work as equally well on Chimaeras.

For those who will be at Bruntingthorpe track day on Saturday 29th March, Leven and the car will be there.

Looks good. What about 18" spiders at the back though, like Neill Anderson's car? And then maybe the front as well "max power" style. I guess the old Cerbera 4.5 17" alloys will go on to?

How much is the conversion going to be?
