Wheels, Offsets etc

Hi Guys

Looking to buy some new wheels for the Clipper cab soon.

Does anyone know what the ofset is? and all the info i need

Is it pcd 100, ofset 35

Also what sort of wheels/ tyre size should i be looking for, i wana try and fill the arches as much as possible as cant lower it, also dont want wheel to stick out from arches so wont go through mot

should i be looking at 15x 6.5

then thinking about getting euro tyres on them

Thanks

Get some g60 steels.

Not alloy but sooooo oem

Have a look at parkers your cars and projects thread

why cant you lower it?

My drive way is so steep! and there is a camber at top where it flattens to go into the garage, so if i drop it, its definately gona rub.

Im gona try and measure up, as would be nice to drop it 40mm but dont thinh its gona happen

I'm with that guy ^^  ?

rimstyle do wheel packages with stretched tyres on?

Are e30 BMW's the same offset as a mk1 golf?

As i have seen a few sets of nice bbs wheels, 15 inch 7.5j wide 4 stud, 100 stud diameter on ebay

can you get 7.5j wide on a mk1 without going past the arches and possibly failing mot?

Bmw,s are rear wheel drive which normally have a different offset to front wheel drive,ie they stick out more so with the extra 2 inch,s you require over the stock mk1 width i think they may well stick out at the front.

The E30 BMW BBS rims are 7x15 ET 25 or 6x14 ET 30.

The 15s look like this fitted with 175/50/15 tyres. Mines on the left but I'm pretty sure the one on the right has the same rims as well.


They stick out a bit more than VW ofset but I've never had mine rub once (arches are rolled though but it is low) Definately not a problem for the MOT either.

so if i get 15x7 instead of 15x6.5 they would fill the arches a bit better and not stick out or cause problems.

Should i go wider on the back then the front ……
