What are the offset/pcd etc etc measurements of a standard 15 inch OZ split rim as found on a 400/450se?

If i were to upgrade to 16 inch wheels how do i need to adjust width/tyre profile etc to compensate for the rolling diameter?

Ideally i'd like a pair of ex Tuscan 16 inch OZ rims for the rear, but i guess they usually come in a set of four.

Cheers Jimbo

I put 16"s in the rear of mine and left the front alone.

A lower profile on the rear brings the rolling diameter back to the same - and is easier to get hold of - I have 245/45/16".

Just watch out for rubbing on the outer wheel arches - I am going to shim up one spring a little.

I have rubbing issues on the rear passenger side but...........

I also have some new AVO adjustable dampers on there too. Height adjustable as well as damping/rebound

I think the springs are original and a little tired too

Another winter job lol

There were a few sets of these about last year. Managed to get 4 for my old 450SE. Worth ringing around the racers, they might have some on a shelf they don't use any more.

Std 390/400/450 OZ's are 15 x 8 ET 20. some SEACs were 15 x 8 1/2, but not sure of offset.(anyone?)
I've got some StilAuto Alloys i sometimes use on mine, and they're 8 x 16, but ET 15, and they do rub a little on hard cornering (although it does add to dramatic effect!)

I decided to sell my two 16" OZ rims as they are, today!

Pic below.










They need new tyres and refurbishing due to some marks etc. Included with the wheels is a set of new OZ Racing transfer for the wheels!

I am open to offers!

Yes, it's a 100mm circle with 12mm studs to give a 112PCD. Standard 350 ET is 23. Annoyingly the OZ split rims don't have the size stamped onto the inside. If no one posts I'll try to measure it in the week. Jonathan
