Wheel Offsets
Another back art I am sure.
We ordered the front wheels today from Simmons Wheels and he asked about wheel offsets. We are not interested in deep dish, and are going with the standard Jag XJ6 wheel stud pattern on the front and the ford pattern on the rear.
Ian has mentioned that the distance from the hub face to the rim extremity was 2.5" on both front and rear. Is this the offset ? Ian mentioned that the 2.5" front and rear means that the tyre wall lines up with the guard on both front and rear. We are going to be running 18" x 8" on the front and 18" x 10" on the rear.
The front brake assembly is 330 x 28, sloted and grovved, four pot Brembo. Simmons says that the internal clearance is 435 mm, so the 18's will clear the calipers.
All feedback greatly appreciated.
Cheers Churchy
PS, Craig (400TT) thanks heaps for the feedback
