She looks well on the square rims alright

A set of UH Ford 7810 rear rims with wheel weights and chunky rubber would suit these big 40 Series Fords. The Valtra rims do look well on it. But they will always be Valtra rims.

nice mate, very nice, hubs suit her well, not sure the uh 7810 rims will bulk out enough without major work to get bigger tyres on them , may be as easy to cut and file out the valtra rims??? as they are flat enough and only 4 points to the rim to aint they??

well thats your secret out now aint it :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: no ones going to pay 105 now, sure someone on here has cut/sanded out the holes on them valtra wheels before, just cant remember who, it was enough to make them look different but without comprimising the strenght where the hubs meet the rims

That would be telling. 8560 chassis.

I'll try the different wheels the next time to see what it looks like. Will bring them in closer too.

Saying what I said, Im not the best judge :-.Basicly Im thinking what style rims would you normally see on a 6 CYL Ford in the range off 100 to 130 HP. So the nearest thing would probably be the 7810 rims as you would see them on 7910s,8210s & most of the 40 Series Ford/NHs. If it were a 7840 ,then 7810 rims would be the obvious choice, but the 8340 being that bit bigger maybe not the best choice. Valtra rims are the nearest thing to them. But maybe give the UH 7810 rims a try if you want. If the work ,they work & if they dont,they dont. You wont know till you try.

But I must hand it to you. They are crackers of models lad!! Fair play. ;):)
