It varies depending on metric or imperial chassis.

Do they make a metric live axle chassis?

13 x 7 ET-7 look like this on an English LA...

I would have said perhaps a 12 would have been better, these were a little too offset so for an 8" I would completely concur with Clarkable and say 24 is spot on biggrin

No. But then 8" wheels on a live axle are going to be interesting, especially if its an Ital axle.

It is an ital axle. Those wheels look good Farlig... that's what I'm after, so 13x7 should be a good option.

thanks for all the interest guys
