Listers,
I am looking into replacing the wheels on my Mk1A. I would like to install
a set of Panasports, or something similar. I would like to hear from you
regarding 13" vs 14" vs 15", widths and offsets. Yes, I do know what offset
is. I've seen the Panasport catalog and done some drawings comparing the
stock steel wheel and the 3 suggested sizes in the 15" Formula Sport model.
They offer a 15 x 6.0 w/ 22mm offset, a 15 x 7w/ 24mm offset (rear only)
and a 15 x 7 w/ 15mm offset. All these appear to be real close to
impossible to fit. Has anyone done a 15" without sheet-metal modifications.
They recommend a 195/55-15 for the 6" and a 205/55-15 for the 7"s listed
above. I would like to at least go with a 14". Any info on your set-ups
would be nice.
Thanks for your past (ignition, alternator) and future suggestions.
