Can anyone tell me how many different sizes the OZ split rims were made in and offsets etc

I thought there was just a 15" (SE Wedge) and 16" (Tuscan racer?) version but I was told by the factory today that there were a few different widths?

Cheers

Mine are 16" OZ split rims,but not off a Tuscan racer.So i guess i have just made things worse for you
As for width,8,8.5,9,10inch wide,i think.
Someone who knows what they are talking about will answer better.

You've got the idea Steve, but there was also a narrower version 7" (5 spoke) used on early 390's
400's used 8" SEACs 8.5" very special SEACs used even bigger

Do you have a wedge now LeeBee? IIRC some (350SE?) have 15x7.5 rims.

You're probably correct but they could be 7 or 7.5 with that tyre size on. (Sorry LeeBee.)

I have a set of the 16inch wheels ... The 10" wide ones, I have 245x45x16 rubber fitted to them, but could probably get a 265 tyre to fit easily (Not sure that the body would take such a wide tyre though, as the rears rub when the 245's are fitted under hard cornering and hard acceleration.

Its taken me almost 4 years to collect a good quality set.
My 15" standard wheels are 8.5J Wide I believe.. running 225x50x15 rubber

Yes, or a 275 but have a chat to stainless. It's virtually impossible to get 16" rubber wider than 245 unless you have a batch made up specially - two of you may reduce the price slightly.

LeeBee,
Sorry for late interjection I've been out of the loop a while.
I have a set of OZ split rims identical in style to the 400SE but come off a Merc. They are 16" x 7" and currently have 245 tyres on them. They sit nicely on the 350 but need a spacer to look right on a 400.
I would sell them.
