Thanks Geoff I have already started looking at wheels those gold things just have to go. I was going to ask who to talk to about wheels.

Ok so while we are talking wheels. Whats best way to workout off set? Obviously there is no standard offset as it depends on diff and half shaft length and kit type I guess.

I went 10 inch rims and 295 tyres on my Evans/Wooley kit by getting half shafts and control arms from a E type that are 3 inches shorter than the standard xjs rear.

The rims were made and the centres reused on the new rims. Backspace was 5 inch so in the centre of the rim which gives 5 inch dish.
