Sierra would be 38mm offset so at -7 you would gain 45mm in track each side

They'll bolt up, but they'll stick out a fair bit more each side ! (assuming you've got Sierra wheels on now). And that's not counting the wider tyres

Possibly not a good choice then. I bought the Cat second hand and as far as i know it is standard. It has 14" wheels at the moment but i really quite like the minilite type wheel. What do i need to be looking for.

Size
Offset
Stud pattern
Etc

Cheers

Current tyres are 185 x 60 x 14

presumably will be standard ford pcd of 108mm,the size depends on how big you want to go,what offset are the ones already fitted?

Size will be probably 13" or maybe 14"
Have 14" at the moment not sure the offset will it be stamped on the wheel?

the offset should be on the wheel in the form of an ET number probably ET 38, have your tried looking on the tiger owners club forum there are more cat owners on there would probably get a difinative answer.

Just been and had a look at the current wheels and they are as follows:

14 x 6jj
Off +38
Stud 108

That is standard sierra fitment if you ask on TOC you will probably find you can go to 7 inch wide.there is more choice if you upgrade to 15s.
those wheels in the pic arent mine that was taken at stonleigh.
