[Healeys] Offset hubs

[Bob Spidell]

What type of offset? 

FWIW, I have 6" Daytons on my BJ8 and, except for some rubbing by the rear tires in hard cornering they're fine, though I think I'll get 5.5" rims next go-around. I assume by offset you mean the wheels are pushed further outboard; if so, I think the wheels would protrude too far out of the wells (that's somewhat the case with my 6" rims and std. hubs). If the offset pulls the rims inboard I think you might have trouble clearing the calipers and drums. 

Happy Thanksgiving all.

Hello, Healeyphiles - 



I have been asked this question and I think it has been discussed on the list at some point but I can't find it in the archives. 



What problems can be expected if 6" wire wheels are fitted to offset hubs on a BJ8? 



Thanks,
