Spoke to Harry at Image Wheels. Apparently because of the size of calipers etc they cannot creat the "dish" effect of the Wolfrace. The wheel would have a flatter appearance which does not appeal to me. I'll just have to sit on a cushion!! A question...It's lovely down here on the Kent/East Sussex border today. Worth a blast in the car?, or is there still too much salt on the road. I'm paranoid about me chassis & outriggers rotting!!

Longer wheel studs and spacers an option maybe?
If you fit a wider wheel on the front you could start to generate the dish on the wheel. A 7.5-8j with an et25 should give a dished wheel and clear the front brake calipers if the centres are sandwich mount rather than front mount. All depends on the caliper clearance of the wheel centre design i would imagine.
My front wheels were front mount on a 7j front wheel only because of the bigger front calipers but I would have thought standard calipers would clear if built as a sandwich mount.
