offset on a 13" rim?

what offset does a 6" wide 13" rim need to clear the standard sierra front calipers?
and a 7 1/2" rear rim to clear the sierra handbrake caliper? cheers!

I think it's more to do with the design of the wheel than off-set. Do you have a make and model in mind?

Is this in relation to the MNR? If so, I can help... but they aren't Sierra front calipers so I'm guessing you may be referring to another car?

If you re-read my post, you'll see that I refer to your front brakes only; I'm well aware that you fitted Sierra rears.

Compomotives will give you as good a chance as any. You also need to think about the position in the rear arch.

ET13-19 is normal on a Cortina set-up but I dont know for sure about Sierra.

Ask a direct question in the running gear section, or see if there are old posts in the MK section about 13" rims as they use Sierra gubbins.

i would be on cortina uprights but to keep costs down i was going for sierra calipers, or any other which will fit and do a good job of stopping the car, a second hand pair of R16's or wilwoods is an option also
