Please can someone remind me what the standard 15/16 wheel offsets are. Am away form the car at the moment and can’t remember. Seem to think et25 front et32 rear does that sound right ?

Thanks for that.

Trying to find some 16 X 9 or 9.5 rears and 16 X 8 fronts if anybody has any ideas Where / What / Who. May have found some three piece split rims but they are Cor-Blimey expensive and a bit heavy.

The original rears on mine were definitely ET35.

They are now ET40 because I have changed from 16x7.5" width to 17x8". 17x9" rears will fit with no problem (and I think 16x9" will too) if the offset is right (probably something like ET48 to ET52), but 8" fronts will most likely cause problems near full lock no matter what the offset.

BTW have you looked here www.comp.co.uk ?

Yes, thankyou, I have. They are the Cor Blimey ones.

Seem to be going in the opposite direction to others. Am going back to 16 inch because can’t get the rubber I want in 17 or 18. Have been using 17 x 7.5 et25 on the front without problems. Unless that is I jack the front up without first setting the steering straight ahead. There seems to be plenty of room for another half inch.

They're not too bad if you know the right people and buy in "rally team" quantities wink
