Will 14inch ET45 fit?
Would an ET45 mean I need spacers or what?
I am sure the green standard mk1 (even as I write that I know I will get replies pointing out the non standard bits) mk1 at inters had standard steelies which were marked ET45.
I can never quite understand what it all means.
Should I part with the hard earned?

Whilst ET45 do fit the handling may be impaired. You could fit 10mm spacers and longer wheel bolts to bring the offset back to ET35…

How do I know what spacers and bolts to get?
Also how do I check for buckling?

If the tyres are off then its easy - roll the wheel along a flat piece of ground and make sure it goes in a straight line and doesn't "wobble"

Anyone know where to get 10 mm spacers? I guess they need a rim or something to hold the middle of the wheel aswell.

Owning a Mk1 cabby is a vertical learning curve…

Ok, i'll come clean, these are the wheels, to be honest I am probably gonna leave em because of the spacer thing.
I am a bit concerned about the centre bore too. If that's not right then that gets even more complicated.
I know they are ugly but I kind of liked them and I have a feeling they are gonna go very cheap!
