1970 Standard wheel options
1970 Standard with disks up front (Ghia) and drums out back (Stock).
What width / offset can I run (16" or 17") without losing turning radius ? I'm getting sick of my 18 wheeler radius and want to get bigger wheels.... Rob. |

Hi
I had a 1972 standard, I fitted some 6 (36ET) x 7 (23ET) inch Cookies to it and they fitted fine, the front did however slightly reduce the turning circle. Steve

Thanks Steve!
I'm doing some research and if I understand things correctly, I am looking for a wheel with a very low Offset. Most wheels I see have an offset of +40 or +50, which would pull the rim in too far and I would have the same problem all over again. Rota has some rims that are 17 x 7.5 /+18 but they have the wrong bolt pattern (4 x 108 ) I wonder if I could get some deep dish steelies with a 4x100 pattern..... Rob. |

rob, i believe that the ae86 corolla/trueno/levin have wheels in that pattern that may suit what you want, they are popular with drifters everywhere, can find 15x8s with offsets from around -12 to +20 around here, search your japanese forums, might prove useful

Hi
Its all a bit of give and take, if you stay with standard fenders/wings/guards your limited. 16 inch Fuchs have the same offset as 15 Cookies. When I muck around with various wheel options, I plug a known wheel size and ET (offset) into this program http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp Steve

4x100 isnt a good PCD for getting rims with nice dish
cos it was all the 90s compact FWD cars run it theres not many rims out there with a low offset all the 4 stud 80s RWD and even most FWD were all 4x114.3 the 4x108 is the dodgy pattern from stuff like alfas and opels

try this link:
http://www.carlsalter.com/old_wheel_fitments.html It will give you the alloy wheel fitments but they will be the same or very close for the steel equivalent especially on the pcd and offset. Clive |
