Cab turbo fan blades? You'll need to do a 5 stud conversion for them or do you mean just cav fan blades? I use them for track tyres. See the last pics in my project thread

I know polished d 90s on a corsa would look the bomb, but stretched tyres and worrying about them 24/7 was abit too much for me lol
