The very late Chims had 16in all round because they had run out of 15in wheels by then! I believe they were the same offset as well..... scratchchin

Quite a common mod to get bigger discs up front.

The 4 liter 5 spoke Chim wheels have a different offset at the front (1", versus 1 1/4" at the rear). Probably not safe to assume that all the different wheel styles are identical though.
