I have the opportunity of aquiring a set of new alloys, 4 off 16" x 7.5J.
Does anyone know what the rim offset should be on a standard 92 4.3? and will 7.5J fit on the front without mods to brakes?
I believe the standard rims are 15" x 7J front & 16" 7.5J on the rear.

The standard 4 liter Chim rims are the same diameter & width, and the offset on these is 1" front 1.25" rear. As far as I know all the other models use similar offsets although they do vary by a few mil. Two things in particular to check for: clearance between the caliper and the rim, and between the inner edge of the rim and the suspension through the full range of steering and suspension travel. The only way to be absolutely sure is to try it on the car, and I'd advise you to try them before you pay.

Silly me! I've just realised the rims for sale are 5 stud, mine are 4.
