I just went through the same problem with buying some wheels for an ex Tuscan racer. Whilst I don't directly have your answer, what I did find out though is that when I got the wheels the offset and PCD was imprinted on the inside of the wheel, so if you've got some then take a look otherwise someone out there must have one lying around that they could look at for you.....?

Not sure if all wheel manufacturers do this, but let's hope they do.....

Well if your talking Spiders.

Here's what mine say....



8.5J (width)x 18 (diameter)
42mm Offset I assume (though my source suggests 36mm)
PCD is same 5 x 108 (not 100% certain about the source)

cheers for the replys lads.

what do you mean by et is 42(but my sorce suggest 36mm)??
36mm would be better for me as 42 would have the tyres contacting the inner wheel arches a bit too much!

Well it says 42 under the 8.5Jx18 on the wheel, yet the wheel also has 36mm stamped into it (top of the picture) and my source suggest 36mm.

your right does say e42 which would indicate a 42mm pcd but does say 36 at top!! strange.usually i would be inclined to go with the et number but i would have thought that a spots car would run around et30 so they may be 36!!

Is that a front or rear wheel in the picture? Remember that front and rear wheels have different offsets.

says that its the front(stamped on wheel).
anyone know what the rear offset is??
im ideally after about a 35mm offset so when fitting 245/35 18's they wont catch the inner arches!
