Right...

I established in a previous thread that the ET+10 front wheels that my car came with, together with the 25mm spacer rings that are required to clear the mahoosive calipers = an offset of ET-15 Not good!

The rears also run a ET+10 and are fine without spacers.

Are there any 13" wheels out there with spoke architecture that allows for a sensible offset, but maximum caliper clearance?

Or, should I just forget any notion of getting a set of 13's to work and go for a 14 / 15?

All help appreciated!

some have more clearence than others. t/d pro race 1.2's seem ok. a few mac 1's run these. the caterham ones i bought from you are et 23 i think and clear sierra caliper with the modded spring!

Cheers Daniel... those Cat ones had gone through my mind

Have you had them re-furbed yet?

I suppose my question should start as... is a ET-15 as bad as I suspect it would be (I've not driven on it).

you could spec any wheels you wanted getting something from image wheels http://www.imagewheels.co.uk/

the price is just too much for me though

I think you should probably contact the maker of the car! I assume you still have the vauxhall powered 7 you bought a while back? They will tell you the correct wheel widths and offsets required! Depending on car and geo settings. Offset could make a huge difference
