Hi there,

Having been in the market for some 17" RL7's I realize that there seem to be a fair amount of different ones on offer.
Different width, offset,... and different opinions here on PH on what is the correct format front and rear.
Having also looked at a set on offer (4 x 8x17") I found it difficult to read any of the numbers and letters on the inside, so no idea which offset they had.

Questions:

1) Who can definitely say which RL7's were fitted originally by the TVR factory on the Cerb 4.5 (width, offset)?
2) Are there other formats than OEM that fit my 97 4.2?
3) Are there some on sale out there that will not fit my Cerb at all?

Cheers upfront!

No-one?

Any 4.5 drivers here that know for sure that their wheels are OEM and who can tell me correct dimensions?

There's a set on eBay at the moment that are off a Cerb.

The size originally fitted are
Diameter 17"
Width 8J
Offset ET38 (this probably won't be printed on them)
PCD 5 x 114.3
The fronts have a chamfered inside rim so they don't foul on full lock.
