[Gipson]

quick pop quiz...
will 7x15 ET16 4x100 wheels be ok on a mk1? hopeless when it comes to wheel offsets

Be sticking out i recon, ET25 maximum for a 7 x 15... You need go UP in ET number for it to stay Inside the guards, but watch for contact on the springs.

ET15 will 'poke' (on a 15x7), as Grant said, but if you like 'poke' going under et25, would be the way to go. but you'll hav troubles going really, low, you'll have to roll fenders and so on an so forth.

picked up the yellow peril this morning, only just been able to get out of the drivers seat to upload some snaps!

hottest 100 was rolling all morning so i took the opportunity to have a cruise around town getting some kodak moments.

[Gipson]

really happy with the car and how original it is, no molestations like cutouts for speakers etc, paint is real clean as it is and the bit i cut back in the photos came up even better so after some snacks ill head back out and get stuck into some cleaning/polishing.
then its time to scribble down a parts list and get onto some accessoriesss

[Gipson]

interesting about the offsets, dont mind poke but dont want much of it at the same time. the wheels i'm keen on are bbs rs 070 but if theyd stick out like tits on a bull ill search for something else

[Jarred]

nice pick up. she looks super clean!

infact, really really really clean!

[16v_kid]

wow,


really nice dude.

shes very original and clean.

[Gipson]

cheers guys yeah the old boy took good care of it and kept it under a carport luckily so its faired well. got onto it with some elbow grease this evening and its coming up really nice will get a photo in the daylight tomorrow. coilovers should be on there way this next week and hopefully get onto some wheels.

really liking the look of these but they possibly wont fit?

if you take the rear wheels on doms car as an example, at 8" wide ET~7, these wheels would sit in by 22mm, which would poke by about 10mm really, which isn't too much (imo), mostly just the lip will be poking.

but you'll have to get a skinny tyre on there, to make it sit low. The fronts will tend to poke a bit more. just the way it is.
