Could anyone tell me what I might need? Also 17" fronts?

Cheers

More input needed Jon .What width and what offset to start with ??? Not a lot out there that will suit without spacers etc ....
Speak to Mr Holt though if you want some as he can get them made with the correct offset for not a lot more than it would cost to buy a set that would need spacers etc :wink:

Easy, unless you are prepared to fit spacers more than anyone makes except Rimstock & split rim route :wink:

Just thinking aloud really- as you know my gearings short and wondered if I swapped my 17's for 18's that might help a little- also there are some bargain wheels on ebay....

At the moment my car has spacers each side at the rear anyway so don't mind adding or deleting as necessary.

For example with a typical et 37 wheel you would need a 25mm spacer on the rear and that would need to be hubcentric at that width. It will also stress out the wheel bearing and the rim width will most likely be too narrow.

Go Rimstock, they are cheap enough.
