18" alloys

[rfisher]

Are these exactly the same as Cerbera 18" alloys in terms of dimensions and weight?

[David Godfrey]

There both standard spiders I think

[earlyriser]

Offsets are probably different

[ro_butler]

Not necessarily true.

Some cerbs run tuscan 'fronts' all round (ie. tuscan front wheels on the rear as well) for clearance reasons. My old one has this but my current one doesn't. If you are buying spiders from a cerb to fit a tuscan then check they aren't all 'fronts'.

As mentioned previously the widths and offsets are different between front and rear.

Thanks for the replies.

Presumably there is a punched tag inside the rim somewhere with the specifications?

Anyone know what this says on Tamora 18" spiders front and back?

I can check tonight but front and back are the same wheels (I'm asuming this as I had 3 replaced on my Tam and I'm certain there the same).

Front spiders are et42, rears are et33.
This applies to the 18" ones, the 16" are different.

The 18"wheels are also clearly marked front or rear.

[AntonyJ]

Oh yeh and that

[David Godfrey]

oops appears I'm wrong, ah well learnt something new

[AntonyJ]

Not neccessarily wrong David, as mentioned above Cerb's may have four fronts on.
Tamora's may have the same or actually fronts and rears.

Good point and got me intrigued enough to have a good look when my new tyres go on it in the next few weeks

David, if you want to find out before then ,I would imagine you can get a small mirror in between the spokes and find the ET number.

What does that actually mean then?

I always thought that front and rear were slightly different on a Tam.

Just found this

Clearly fronts and rears are different and mixing them may not be a good idea.

So - anyone know the details for other 18" eg from Cerbs or Tuscans or 350s or Sags?

[AntonyJ]

Well, the only two offsets I know of on the 18" are the ones I listed.
The 16" are different offset,(probably due to their lesser width), cant quite remember the offsets on the 16" ,which is bad considering they are on my car!

I wasnt saying what the ET's are on a Tamora, just that with TVR it could be any mix !

Forget that, I have just checked on my spare 18"'s and the info will only be viewable with the wheel off.Sorry

T350/Tamora definitely have different offsets front and rear - or is it widths? - look at the wheel studs and how much they stick out. Anyway, they are different so be careful.
