I have had wheels on order from Pasquae at Millaz for sometime and have just (last weekend) had them in Warwick's workshop for a test fitting. The figures Warwick are quoting you (135R/90F) are the distance from the bolt up face to the outermost point on the
tyre. As Craig pointed out, these will not necessarily be the offsets for any given wheel size. The actual offsets will depend on these figures as well as the tyre size - in particular how much *bulge* you choose to run with. If you run 15" rims, the tyre might *bulge* (say) 30mm, while if you run 18's, it may only be 5mm. In these cases, you
might order 105R/60F in the 15's or 130R/85F in the 18's, to allow for the *bulge*.
I am using 16" rims and have gone with a 10mm *bulge factor* so have 125R/80F offsets on the Millaz wheels. I do have some photos of the wheels on the car that is currently in Warwick's workshop that I will post tomorrow.
There are further issues around the camber set on the suspension. I checked all mine unsprung and reckon (after looking at other Cobras with the same wheels) that I could go another 10mm on the rears, but I really won't know this until I stick some rubber on the rims and I don't want to take the risk. If you can wait until I get some tyres (probably a month or two), I will do 354 measurements and send them off to you!!
Hope this helps
