[TR] TR6 wheel question

[glemon at neb.rr.com]

I believe they are a 5-6mm positive offset, most wheels, esp. for modern fwd cars, have a much greater offset than that.  I believe zero offset wheels work fine for a TR250-6.  I have konig rewinds 15x 7" with zero or close to zero offset.  They make them in 15" and 16" x 7" sizes, I don't know if there is a five lug option.  The the tires/wheels are about even with fender lips, I am not sure if a tr250 fender lips are in or out any further than a TR6.  Different fenders, but similar lip arrangement.

He is thinking about going one inch up in diameter to 16" wheels.  What he needs to know is the correct offset for the wheels and tire size that will work in the standard wheel arches.  He doesn't want anything outside the body work.
