I'd like 17/18 inch wheels - is it possible?
Discussion
mmm great, just spoken to Pro Rally and there is now a slight difference between 17 and 18in wheels due to new moulds being made. ( us this due to the cracking problem on tuscans?)
so it might be all 17 or all 18in rims... prices look good though..
You mention a 6mm spacer, could this be made up with adding 6mm to the ofset making it 41mm front...

quote:Graham, i) Pete has 17" all round caht to him ii) there is a Griffith in this months Sprint with 18" all round, the guy is D Puddick, comes from the Essex region of the TVRCC but isn't on e-mail. I chatted to him at Silverston and he has 235x18 fronts. Clive Zertec Reed probabaly knows him. iii) Re the spacers yes but subtract don't add i.e. 40mm less 6mm = 34mm not 41mm. A larger offset put more wheel inside the arch, the spacer is to move it back out. Rich...

>>3) I fitted a 6mm spacer to cure this
>>8) Standard offsets are 25mm front and 40mm rear but I am running 35mm at the front to get a bit more clearence.
>>Re the spacers yes but subtract don't add i.e. 40mm less 6mm = 34mm not 41mm
mmm now im confused... you say standard front
offset is 25, but you have 35 for extra clearance, then use a 6mm spacer which takes it back to 29mm....
or am i loosing the plot here.. sorry to be a pain
Pete Best, you out there can i have a picky of your 17" wal@mobit.co.uk what offset do you use?
Ta all.
p.s. i fancy Gold as the car is dark Grey.....
