[Fot] TR3 wheel offset

[fubog1]

 I don't have an absolute number, all cars are different to a degree, but generally you want to space them out as far as possible, limited by bodywork and/or rules.Check the front inner rim edge/top ball joint for clearance when loaded & lock to lock.Relieving the rear leaves for inner clearance is SOP with some combinations but it looks like you have a nice Watts-link so the rear won't move much laterally.Just a few thoughts...Glen Efinger

Amici,

What wheel width and offset are y’all running on a vintage legal track car?

I’m looking at buying I set of vintage wheels that have practically zero offset. Attached are photos of my test fit that show the wheel sits in more than seems right. I like the wheels but I’m not sure they’re what I need.

On the front the outer rim is a couple of inches inboard from the fender lip. On the rear the inner rim clears the leafspring by less than a half inch. You can see where the previous owner notched the leaf springs so the tire won’t rub, so I suppose I can make these wheels work but I might be giving up track width. 



Thanks,

Dusty Nicholson _______________________________________________
