15x6J what offset is required for a 3000M?

been offered a set from a mates car (not TVR) with an offset of 30 the pcd is correct but cant get to them to try them on as my car is back in the bl00dy bodyshop again.

Any info appreciated.

Thanks

Great info thanks.

5000M? guessing thats a rover V8 then?
did you do it yourself and was it worth all the effort?

Cheers

pumpkin said: TVR t-slots have a 2.5mm -ve offset. I have just replaced the wheels on my car with 16 X 7" pannasport wheels with a 6mm positive offset. These are perfect on the back but require a 3mm spacer on the front. Tyres fitted are 205/55-16. I get a very small rubbing , the rim of the alloy wheel just touched on the end of the bolt that holds the ball joint at the top of the vertical link to the upper suspension arm. I think I could to 225 at the rear. A friend of mine did this four years ago and bought Image wheels in the end. He went for 16x7 with zero offset and had the bolt rubbing problem that you described so he fitted a 3mm spacer on the front but I do not think that it is necessary for a 6" rim although 30 is too far out IMHO. I would now opt for 16x7 with a -7mm ET. He runs 205/55/16 all round at present but has run 225/50/16 at the rear with no problems.

On that note I know of a supplier for spacers (1 1/4inch) which would get around that problem, normally I would not want to space a wheel that far due to the additional load on the bearings, BUT as the wheel would only stick out as far as the original would it present any problems?

Thanks again

a 3000M has a PCD of 95.25 or 3 3/4inch, not sure for a 1600M.

I thought that a 6mm offset with 3mm spacer came back to 3mm offset, as the a positive offset means the hub mounts closer to the front of the wheel?
