Offset of wheels on Luego Viento
stuiesav - 24/4/10 at 03:49 PM

Does anyone out there have the correct offset details for both the front and rear wheels on a luego viento along with the best tyre sizing (am aware its 205 at the front!).

Any help much appreciated.

thanks

Stuart.

I am using these on my Viento

Front = Compomotive MO 5 spoke 7 x17 Offset +38 fitted with 205/40/ZR17 Yokohama AVS-Sport

Rear = Compomotive MO 5 spoke 8 x17 Offset +22 fitted with 235/40/ZR17 Yokohama AVS-Sport

see the following link and the link within it.

I have also fitted 20mm hubcentric spacers on rear wheels to move them out to fill the arches AND to create more clearance between the wheel and sring on shocks.

I have the standard sierra offset on fronts and Zero offset on rears with 19mm spacers which bring the rims right to the outer edge of wheelarches!

I have Team Dynamic Pro-Race 2 rims.

ET+38 on the front (Std Ford Sierra offset)
with 7x17 wheels 205mm tyres

Rears are 8x17 with ET+22mm (the min offset they would do on 8" rims) 235mm tyres
Plus 15mm Hubcentric spacers to move them outwards a tad.

Best to use Hubcentric spacers, as they have the indent and the flange to locate on the hub and in the wheel. Especially on the rear wher you are applying the power to the road. ie done use just the flat plain spacers. Its worth the added expense.

If I was doing it all again, I would probably go with 9" on the rear and 265 tyres. (would need to check the figures again if I did that)

As Geoff but with the 9" rears (ET+22) running 255s and 25mm spacers - 5mm in from outer edge of rear arches

i think my 10" rears are +25 and the fronts are 9" with i think +22 or it could be +25 as well
