Lotus Carlton Wheels?

[wcdeane]

I am not so much interested in this specific wheel, but I am curious as to whether or not Carlton wheels will fit the Esprit SE.

Does anyone know?? Note the size 265/40 x 17". I am thinking that a pair of these on the back of my SE might help it hook a little better.

Perhaps you can find out from a supplier of rims the offset and PCD of the cars and compare them.

Theoritically the PCD is the same 108PCD. The problem for the Esprit is the offset. The front and rears are different as is the width of wheel and tyres. I know the discs are used for the V8 Esprits as well.
Whilst a Lotus Calton set up may fit if they have different sized front and rear wheels, the Vauxhall or Opel Calton will definately not fit as all four wheels are the same.

If I find the exact off set for the Lotus Calton then I will let you know.


Cheers,
