George Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm looking for new wheels for the car and wanted to test fit some 14's to make sure the brakes will clear. A neutral size would be good but I am looking for a positive 10 offset or thereabouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thanks for the offer guys. I've made plans to see Geoff seeing as I'm over that way anyway. If I need to I'll call tomorrow. Might want to try another set anyway just to be sure. There can be differences depending on which rims and offsets so I'd want to be 100% before I spend any money.

George Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 Thanks to Geoff for all the help. Was great to see you again and hope to catch up on a cruise in the near future. Mike, I was just checking them as I've been forever searching for a lightweight small rim so I can whack on some tall wall street slicks and see what the car can really do on the drag strip. The 14's I tried had a good offset but hit my brake caliper. Geoff also had some 15's so we tried those which cleared the caliper but hit the weights with the steering joint. It was that tight. Maybe a 3mm clearance which would be enough. Still, pretty tight to chance it on some rims from overseas that cost a bundle without knowing for sure if they will fit. I'll have to keep to local stock I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
